Battle to Lead Labor Party Begins in Israel
Knesset member Isaac Herzog, running for Labor Party leadership, claims that the public is looking for a new diplomatic alternative.
Barely 24 hours after announcing at an Aug. 26 news conference that he will run for head of the Labor Party, Knesset member Isaac “Buji” Herzog is already deep into campaign frenzy, with a platform of "True, I am no star, but I am experienced and a team player."
On Nov. 21 of this year, only 10 months after the Knesset elections, the Labor Party will hold primaries for party leadership. Another scene in the party’s famous backstabbing pageant will be enacted for posterity.
