With the March 23 election in Israel looming, Merav Michaeli, the new leader of Israel’s once dominant Labor Party, is working to restore it to its former preeminence.
“The Labor Party is back on its feet,” she said during a Zoom lecture on February 25 sponsored by the American Friends for Peace Now. “We’re at the beginning of a journey to make the Labor Party a leader in the center-left camp. We need to take back our historic leadership role.”

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s efforts to woo Arab voters to vote for the Likud Party is bearing fruit, a new Panels Research poll taken for
Maariv found Thursday.
Likud rose by four seats since a survey by the same pollster a week ago, with two of those mandates coming from Arab voters.
Netanyahu campaigned among Arab voters in Nazareth and Umm el-Fahm this week and expressed confidence that Likud could win several seats from Arab voters who could enable his party to win as many as 42 seats in the upcoming election.
