While the Meretz party will hold primaries tomorrow for the leadership of the party, the former chairman of the party, Zehava Galon, arrived today (Monday) to be a guest at the "Israel Hayom" studio for an interview with Yehuda Schlesinger and Amir Ettinger.
Galon attacked the style of her opponent in the fight for Meretz's presidency: "Yair Golan is delegitimizing me, 'Zahva Galon is not healthy for her entry', what do you mean her entry into the political system is not healthy? Who speaks in these terms?".
According to her, he delegitimized her personally when he called her a woman of the past: "When he came to Meretz with Ehud Barak, I don't remember him saying that he was a man of the past. I think it's a misogynist statement, not to mention ageist."
Shins waist towards the leadership of the party.
Yair Golan,
Galon explained her words that Golan is bringing Ben Gabir's methods to Meretz and answered Golan's claims that she does not define Meretz as a Zionist party.
"Do I have to put myself through the loyalty tests that Yair Golan is putting me through? Are these loyalty tests at Ben Gvir's, does he do loyalty tests for leftists and Arabs?" she said.
"All Meretz leaders in the past were Zionists"
"I declare myself from the day I was given the right to vote, I am a Zionist, all the heads of Meretz in the past were Zionists. And I say that I see myself in an Israeli left party, which has Jews and Arabs in it. I do not expect Isavi Frij to define himself as a Zionist, so Yair Golan Dare to say that I'm not a Zionist?"
Among other things, Galon said that differentiation is needed between the parties, and Meretz needs civilian leadership.
"If Golan, deputy chief of staff, will lead Meretz and there is already a party of two chiefs of staff, then why would the leftists return to Meretz? I don't think a general who took off his uniform knows how to talk about security more than I do. I present a cohesive, civil worldview, I think There is a need for dialogue with the Palestinians and an end to the occupation, Golan has the position of a one-sided separatist center."
In the meantime, Galon refused to say what kind of minister she would like to be if Meretz becomes a member of the government, but emphasized that the day after the primaries she will call Golan to cooperate for Meretz's success and that he has a place on the list.
