Peretz went on to say that "he will play his role as the responsible adult of the peace camp. A journey of free love and not hatred and incitement. We are the peace camp, equality, the social justice camp. This was our way and so will be. No accounts are made of what happened now, we wanted to bring Israel back. Rabin's way, not annexation - but to hold a regional conference that would bring together all the elements in the Middle East. Do not fall for a moment in your spirit. On the contrary - you have created an atmosphere of change in the State of Israel. Our hope that someday the citizens of the country will have a path of change and hope - will not die for a moment, "he concluded.

Then came MK Orly Levi Abaxis , chairman of the bridge faction on the list, who said: "The journey was not easy, but in a responsible way we decided to line up the social issues. We did what they had to do in blue and white. We found the common and similar and ignored the separator."

MK Nitzan Horowitz , chairman of the Meretz faction list, joined in with the difficult things the two said about the blue-and-white conduct, saying: "This is not an easy evening for our list and our camp, but the union was the order of the hour. We prevented the loss of votes and throughout the election campaign Inside the CBS. We paid a price for it. "

In the last campaign of the campaign we have seen an unworthy campaign from a blue and white side. We now have a responsibility to fight for every tag and every comma in our ideology. For resistance to annexation, I must strive for peace over a forced struggle. Equality, freedom and peace - these are our values ​​and we have no intention of giving them up. We have a responsibility to express our voice even to those who did not vote for us in the end. We will represent you in the Knesset with your head up and you will be proud of us. Whatever the road, we believe in this path and in the end we will win. "
