Labor party votes against joining Netanyahu's gov't (2)

On Jan. 3, prior to the Jan. 22 elections, Yachimovich said that the party will not take part in Netanyahu-led right-wing coalition.

During the meeting, several members of the party criticized Yachimovich's leadership and her decision to announce she will not take part in Netanyahu's coalition before the elections take place.

"We lost seats to the left-wing and center parties, after you announced your decision not to join the government and the positive light you put on the settlements," Yitzhak Herzog, No. 2 in the party's roster, told Yachimovich during the meeting.

Other factors within the party told local news outlets that they are interested in setting an earlier date for the internal election for a party leader within the party.

Likud-Beytenu's chief Netanyahu is the most likely person to form a coalition. The party that won 31 seats in the election has the most possible partners to build a coalition.

Later on this week, President Shimon Peres is set to appoint Netanyahu to build the next coalition.
