Noa Rotman (Ben Artzi), granddaughter of former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, joined the new party headed by former prime minister and defense minister Ehud Barak.

"The decision to join the political process was not simple," Rotman said, "but I can no longer stand on the sidelines. I know from up close the price of hatred and incitement. We cannot be reconciled with extremism in Israeli society, it is not set in stone."
