In a post on Twitter, Chairman of the Labor party, MK Amir Peretz explained that the reason Labor's representative wasn't in the central election committees meeting was due to human error, writing:
"After a quick inquiry, it became clear that the human error of a party representative sadly led the approval of a racist party to run in the upcoming election. Responsible leadership takes responsibility for mistakes and acts quickly. We will. Already tomorrow we will work resolutely to rectify the unfortunate incident in a petition to the Supreme Court.
