The journalist and the spouse of the chairman of the Labor Party Marev Michaeli, Lior Shlainthis evening (Saturday) criticized Michaeli’s conduct in the last election cycle and claimed on the program “Meet the Press” on News 12: “I thought Marev should have united with Meretz.”

Labor party criticism of Michaeli: “A leader should know how to take responsibility”
“The Israeli right has been hijacked by a bunch of lunatics, messiahs, extortionists, they promise the entry of Arabs, Iranians, Bedouins – they have no solution for anything. After the elections it turns out that it is the entry of gays, secularists, women, leftists. They have nothing to offer. This is what we chose. Lots Good Israelis followed the idle promises. War? They are fighting,” attacked Shalein at the beginning of his words.
According to him, “I thought she should have reunited with Meretz, I said that at the time as well – and still, contrary to the practice with Bibi and Sara, we are two separate people. The numbers would not have changed, 62-58, it would have given Abi Maoz much more power. With All the best to Merev Michaeli, and my love for her, she was not the leader of the camp in the last elections. The one to blame was Yair Lapid. It didn’t change the results of the elections, but tracks on the left.”

Later, Schlein also attacked Avi Maoz And he said: “We will have to ask the boy or girl every day, ‘What did you learn today’, and if the brainwashing of Avi Maoz’s primitiveness reaches the children’s minds, God forbid, go to the teacher, the principal, and kill them. A discriminatory business? Fire him.”
As I recall, despite the frantic attempts to connect the parties, including by the former prime minister Yair Lapidboth ran separately in the elections, and in the end Meretz was left out of the Knesset after not passing the threshold.
