The Labor Conference may be dramatic as the Labor Chairman decides whether to join Meretz • The decision will be based on a depth survey that the Labor Chairman will receive early next week

The Labor Party conference is expected to convene next Tuesday, the day before the lists are submitted to the 23rd Knesset. Labor Bridge chairman Amir Peretz will receive a depth survey on Sunday, and will finally decide whether to accept the possibility of joining Meretz or disqualifying the move. During the conference, Peretz may come up with a proposal to merge with Meretz or, alternatively, one or two candidates in his two armored parties on the party list.

Peretz's associates told Israel Today on Friday that chances are that there will be no reunion with Meretz. However, they did, however, say things could change on Sunday, following a survey that Peretz is expected to receive.

Peretz is under heavy pressure from senior members of his party, led by MK Itzik Shmuli, who is trying to persuade him to agree to a unification on the left for the next quarterly submission. Molly tweeted on Twitter: "Victory is all that matters now, and if we miss the opportunity we will not forgive ourselves. Reasons why it doesn't have a great, and yet no choice and technical connection is the order of the hour. There will be no second chance, neither the state nor the party. Time to decide. "

Molly, like all members of his party, is well aware of the dismal state of Labor-Bridge, which received only 5 seats in the Israel Today and Brainstorm polls, a situation that could lead to the fact that Labor will not pass the blockade for the first time and will not be represented in the Knesset. On the other hand, long-time members of the work rule out the possibility of reuniting with Meretz, preferring their party to run as it is, without further unification.

In the case of a unification between Labor and Meretz, it is unclear whether Knesset Member Orly Levy, chairman of the Gesher party, will take part in the union in question. In an interview with News 12 a week ago, Levi referred to the possibility of a merger with Meretz and said: "A connection with Meretz would hurt both parties, The connection between me and Peretz brought votes that would not be able to vote for Meretz. "

Meanwhile, Peretz's associates say Friday to Israel Today that chances are that there will be no reunion with Meretz. However, they did, however, say things could change on Sunday, following a survey that Peretz is expected to receive.
