In the bridge of work the sensations are mixed. On the one hand, there is another opportunity to improve the sad state of the Workers' Party, which crashed even further in the days of Isaac Herzog and Avi Gabay. On the other hand - a real fear that the reality, which has already twice shaken its members - will slap them for the third time with a number of mandates that will not tickle the blocking percentage.

In order to avoid the tragedy and not disappear from the political map and the Knesset, among activists at work there is a desire to join the white and blue. In the first phase, MK MK Amir Peretz and senior members of the party formulated a line by which they would embark on an independent Labor Bridge campaign, which will be tested in a month's time. If you fail to gain momentum, the party will initiate a move to join Blue and White.

"We are preparing for independent scrutiny and will look at different options later," confirmed MK Itzik Shmuli. "The only parameter by which we move forward as connections, is only if we realize beyond all doubt that it increases the entire bloc, and also the chance of winning."

MK Mavi Michaeli is more optimistic, but she also does not rule out mergers. "The bridge has led to a block of votes from outside, and we intend to continue doing so in the upcoming elections. Increasing the Labor Party and the Bloc to replace Netanyahu and the Right is our most important goal, and all options will be explored accordingly.

MK Revital Suid also stated that they "are preparing for the run independently. Toward the second half of the election campaign, a backed-up situation will be done in the polls, and a final decision will be made with one goal first and foremost - to do our best and everything necessary to end Netanyahu's rule. "

Peretz himself, who was backed by his party members and his partner MK Orly Levi-Abaxis for his firm decision not to join Netanyahu, said during a tour in Megiddo last Thursday: "Netanyahu lost the election campaign and he is holding onto the altar horns. Balfour is not listed on his taboo. "

Levi-Abaxis added that "in the last election campaign, and also between the campaigns, we are the only party that did not agitate and did not fight any of the populations. The Bibi era will also come to an end, the question is what will happen the next day."
