“Israel is at one of the most important moments in its history, a moment that will define its future.
Unfortunately, over the years, many have known how to diagnose the strategic threats facing Israel, and suggest merely tactical measures, which do not offer an overall solution to the ills of Israeli society. I intend to act differently, and offer the Israeli public a complete moral road map that includes a political chapter and a social-economic chapter, which will guide the entirety of the political and economic measures I propose. The chapters are interconnected because there will be no peace without social justice and there will be no social justice without progress in the peace process.”
Party Chairman Amir Peretz at the Herzliya Conference on the Balance of Israel’s National Security, 24th January 2006
