Shelly Yachimovich surprises: I will return to lead the Labor Party'

June 25, 2014   

Not giving up: Six months after losing the Labor leadership to MK Yitzhak (Bozhi) Herzog in the primaries - former Labor chairman, MK Shelly Yachimovich, is bringing the 'ceasefire' to an end and says in an interview on Knesset Channel: "I assume I will return to lead the Labor Party. It was difficult to lose in the primaries.".

MK Yachimovich was a guest on the program "Zug o Pert" with Nadav Perry and Amit Segal, and also harshly criticized the conduct of her party's senior leaders on the eve of the presidential elections: "Mistakes were made in the moves of Herzog and Kabel. There was a lapse of light here and I hope that the lesson will be learned.".

 She continued, saying: "I talked about these moves with you in real time. I thought it was wrong to support Fuad, even before the affair exploded. Certainly the second 'tact', in this gathering around Sheetrit, caused us damage.".
