Opposition Leader Yitzhak Herzog said, Monday evening, "I will work for the establishment of a central bloc that loves the people of Israel and the state of Israel, regardless of religion, race or sex."

Speaking at a Mimouna gathering in Beit Shemesh, the chairman of the Zionist Union faction added, "This bloc will lead to a leadership that serves the people, the entire people and not itself." He added the words "Be happy and unite," to the traditional Mimouna greeting of "Prosper and be successful."
