Labor party compromises on primaries

The Labor party decided on Monday to cancel an internal vote on whether to hold a primary for Labor leadership and its list for the Knesset in the September 17 election.
According to the compromise, the leadership primaries will be held on July 2 among the party's 60,000 members.
Labor will hold a convention next week to decide whether to freeze its current Knesset list or elect a new list in a primary.
Leadership candidates Amir Peretz and Itzik Shmuli welcomed the move.
