MK Naama Lazimi presented the Democrats party slate to the Central Elections Committee on Monday evening, describing the Labor-Meretz merger as a union of two 'glorious parties' and a fusion of the protest spirit into Israel's democratic soul. 'This is the party that will fortify Israeli democracy in the next Knesset,' she said during the live broadcast on Knesset Channel 99.
The Zioneer reported earlier Monday that the Democrats party submitted its finalized Knesset slate for the 26th term. At the official submission ceremony at the Central Elections Committee, MK Naama Lazimi described the alliance as a 'connection of two glorious parties' and a fusion of the protest spirit into Israel's democratic soul. She called the new party 'the one that will fortify Israeli democracy in the next Knesset.' The Democrats party was formed earlier this year through the merger of the Labor Party and Meretz. Lazimi, who won the number-two spot on the list in the party's primary, has emerged as a prominent voice for the center-left bloc ahead of the November elections.
