Labor Party Chairman and Economy Minister Amir Peretz voted in favor of the law banning conversion therapy that was approved in a preliminary reading in the Knesset.

“Conversion therapies are inhuman, immoral, and non-Jewish," Peretz opined. "Besides coalition discipline, there's also conscience. That's why, together with the entire Blue and White bloc led by Benny Gantz, I voted in favor of the law that prohibits conversion therapies."
