Yossi Yonah — one of the prominent figures in the leadership of the Israeli social protest movement — recently received an offer from the head of the Labor Party and Knesset member Shelly Yachimovich to head the party’s list for the Tel Aviv municipality council, in the elections which will be held at the end of October.
Yachimovich well understands the great potential of the upcoming municipal elections, exactly as does Yesh Atid Party Chairman and Finance Minister Yair Lapid and HaBayit HaYehudi Chairman and Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett — both of whom head parties identified with the social protest. That is the reason that Yachimovich appealed to Yonah, in her efforts to recruit popular social protest personalities to run on the Labor list for positions in the city councils.
