Labor Party criticized Chairman Merav Michaeli, who referred to the expected strike of the authorities. Michaeli said that it "strengthens the mayors in the justified decision to shut down the local government tomorrow" "Is she satisfied with filming a video and issuing a press release? What are we going to say to our mayors?" said a party source.

This criticism comes after Gilad Kariv's post last week called for the unification of Labor and Meretz, writing in the post: "This is the order of the day!"
