After the end of the legal proceedings, the Labor Party primaries will take place next Sunday and will determine the identity of the new or new party leader in place of Amir Peretz, who decided not to run in the upcoming elections.
The primaries will be held at polling stations throughout the country, in which about 37,000 Labor party functionaries will vote in accordance with the guidelines of the purple mark.
On February 1, there will be elections for the Labor Party list.
"Israel Today" has learned that a heavy campaign of pressure is underway on former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, so that he will agree to lead the party again, after eight members of the party's management approached him last Thursday.
The Labor Party has high hopes for Barak.
A senior source told Israel Today: "Our bloc is divided and dismantled. A move in which Barak returns and leads the bloc will stimulate the system."
At this point, it seems that Barak does not rule out the possibility, but the goal is not to settle for the Labor leadership but to concentrate forces in the left-wing bloc under his leadership.
Labor members wrote to Barak: "We, the members of the Labor Party, call on you to lead the party again in the upcoming elections and to run for the leadership and leadership of the State of Israel. We spoke in recent days with many key activists across the country "For the campaign for the benefit of the State of Israel. Your candidacy at the head of the Labor Party for the leadership of the state will give hope to many good people in the Israeli public."
Those who have already announced their candidacy for Labor leadership are MK Merav Michaeli, Gil Beilin, the son of former Minister Yossi Beilin and also Yehuda Alush.
Other names mentioned among Labor activists as possible candidates are former Knesset members Amar Bar-Lev and Eitan Kabel.
