MK Issawi Freij (Meretz) on Sunday called on the leaders of the opposition factions, Ofer Shelah and Ahmed Tibi, to join Meretz and boycott an opposition meeting planned by the Zionist Union for Monday.
“As long as Herzog is the leader of the Zionist Union, his party does not deserve to lead the opposition. I call on Joint List faction chairman MK Ahmed Tibi and Yesh Atid faction chairman MK Ofer Shelah to join Meretz and be absent from a meeting of opposition factions tomorrow,” said Freij.
“I have no faith in Herzog as opposition leader. Moreover, each additional minute that Herzog serves in his role undermines the opposition, its credibility and its ability to be an alternative to the regime of Netanyahu, Liberman and co.,” he added.
