MK Yitzhak Herzog responded to the results of the primaries in the Labor party which saw him losing his position as leader.
"Members of the Labor party have said their part. I respect their decision. I congratulate Amir Peretz and Avi Gabai who made the second round and wish both of them success. In the coming days I will consult with my friends and colleagues within the big camp I have in the Labor party regarding my support in the second round."
"I am grateful to all the friends who came along with me on this amazing journey. I regret the result on a personal, political and ideological level . I had the pleasure of working with outstanding friends. I will never forget what you did for me,” he added.
