We should take all the excellent agreements that Netanyahu made, courtesy of Trump, and leverage them not only for a solution with distant countries but also for the bloody conflict here. That is the urgent thing to do". "Before the peace agreement with Egypt, no one believed there would be an agreement with Egypt. The same thing will happen with the Palestinians. It is in Israel's interest to stop engaging in conflict, to set a border and Israel knows how to defend its borders". Asked about the possibility of unity among the parties in the center-left camp, Michaeli replied, "Everyone will do the right thing and work to maximize power in the best possible way, and I too will do the responsible thing for the benefit of the entire bloc and not just for the benefit of the Labor Party. I am interested in working for the state and its citizens and need to find the best way to do so. This is not about ego, but rather about a shattered camp. Netanyahu has a lot of responsibility for this, but so does the leadership of the camp. I'm sure the camp will be organized and everyone will show responsibility, but my first task is for the Labor Party to be part of the story. That is not the case at the moment”

Certainly, the camp’s leaders have also made mistakes"

israelnationalnews Wednesday, January 13, 2021 8:10:00 AM EAT

Merav Michaeli claimed : “I am not saying we can return the party to be a ruling party in the immediate future, but public attitudes are in line with what we want and not with what the right wants,” “The public wants equality, pluralism, religious freedom, civil marriage and a majority, even if not a large one, even supports the two-state solution. We should take all the excellent agreements that Netanyahu made, courtesy of Trump, and leverage them not only for a solution with distant countries but also for the bloody conflict here. That is the urgent thing to do". "Before the peace agreement with Egypt, no one believed there would be an agreement with Egypt. The same thing will happen with the Palestinians. It is in Israel's interest to stop engaging in conflict, to set a border and Israel knows how to defend its borders". Asked about the possibility of unity among the parties in the center-left camp, Michaeli replied, "Everyone will do the right thing and work to maximize power in the best possible way, and I too will do the responsible thing for the benefit of the entire bloc and not just for the benefit of the Labor Party. I am interested in working for the state and its citizens and need to find the best way to do so. This is not about ego, but rather about a shattered camp. Netanyahu has a lot of responsibility for this, but so does the leadership of the camp. I'm sure the camp will be organized and everyone will show responsibility, but my first task is for the Labor Party to be part of the story. That is not the case at the moment”
