Yair Golan intends to run for the leadership of the Labor Party in the upcoming internal elections at the end of May. He intends to lead the unification in the left bloc.

Golan came to a protest in front of the news studios in Neve Ilan, and criticized the government's conduct and its goals during the war. "The government has no interest in releasing hostages," Golan said. "If we release the abductees it will lead to an end to the fighting," he said.
