Labor MK hails growth of Israeli centre-left

Stav Shaffir, a Labor politician and member of the Israeli Knesset since 2013, told MEE:

"These are pretty amazing results. We started this campaign with 12 or 13 sets and today we got at least 27 seats. Netanyahu does not have a political bloc to build a new government, so we are waiting to see the real results in the last few hours ... to see where we are heading. But what has been proven now is that this Israeli public said clearly that they don't trust Netanyahu anymore. The Left-centre bloc in Israel became much bigger. Much bigger than we've seen in recent years and that means a lot."
