Shelly Yacimovich

MKs Shelly Yacimovich (Labor) and Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) would agree upon many things in relation to Shabbat in the public sphere.

The government should honor its own decision dating back to 2015 and bring the Falash Mura to Israel. And it should find the budget to finance the project.

The Knesset State Control Committee Chairwoman Shelly Yacimovich stated that there are an estimated 20,000 civilian drones in Israel, and only 1.4% of them are registered with the government.

Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid said the bill was intended to silence the comptroller and that under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “every day that passes we become less of a democracy.”

“Yacimovich lost the race by more than 55,000 votes so it is too bad she does not know how to lose with honor.”

"I was close to the premiership two years ago, and I still intend to get there. The result we achieved was terrific considering all the forces that were working against us.”

This was an expected move.

As the Labor Party emerges as the most likely alternative party to form a government in the next general elections, the 'Post' takes a closer look at the challenges and changes it faces.

Yacimovich lost the election for the chairmanship of Israel’s largest union to incumbent Avi Nissenkorn by a vote of 62.42%-37.58%.

MK Shelly Yacimovich plans to hold a new vote after she did not accept the results.
