Labor leader Shelly Yacimovich announced “rumors that Labor is entering into the coalition are untrue”. She called rumors nothing more than speculation, and following her meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu she is not considering an appropriate offer as many believe to be the case.

She stressed the party will not repeat the mistakes of the past and unless they are able to advance the Labor agenda, they will remain in opposition to push that agenda from outside the coalition.
