| Barak vows to act as 'opposing force' in Likud-led coalition |
| 2009-03-25 |
| Labor members voted in favor of chairman Ehud Barak's proposal for the party to join a Likud-led government during Tuesday night's convention at Tel Aviv's Exhibition Grounds. 1,071 party members attended the convention, with 58 percent voting in favor of joining the government and 42% voting against it - a margin of 173 votes. Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu called Barak to congratulate him on the vote's outcome, while Infrastructures Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said he and Barak were grateful to those Labor members who supported the move to join the coalition. Ben-Eliezer expressed confidence that despite divisions in the party prior to the decisive convention, Labor members would "march together tomorrow." |
