Labor Party Chairman Amir Peretz has replied to criticism by senior United Right member Naftali Bennett's criticism of the Labor-Gesher economic plan by saying, "Hey Naftali, you are not surprising. The capitalist brotherhood alliance between you and [Senior Blue and White member Yair] Lapid has never seen human beings. You are afraid of a change that will put the person back on the top of the list of priorities."
Peretz continued, "I'm sad that people like you aren't ready to carry the stretcher and give a little so that all citizens will have a lot more. I invite you to a debate whenever and wherever you want."
