Labor-Gesher-Meretz chairman Amir Peretz revealed at a conference on Friday that the keft intends to form a government with the support of the predominantly Arab Joint List party.

"Further to our agreement with Benny Gantz, we will first swear in a government of Labor-Gesher-Meretz with Blue and White, with Yisrael Beytenu and the Joint List supporting from the outside. I will take on the role of mediator, as the responsible adult, and work to expand the government after its inauguration,” said Peretz.
