Green Party Leader MK Stav Shaffir responded to Democratic Union Chairman MK Nitzan Horowitz's call for a union on the Left, saying that 'the Left is gone without a union,' Ynet reported on Monday. 'I am glad that Horowitz understands now that the left is gone without a union,' Shaffir said. 'I call upon him to come to a meeting with me so we would agree on the Democratic Union running in the same format it did last election.' In a previous interview to Ynet, Horowitz said that Shaffir 'organized a conference and declared she was running on her own. I think it is a big mistake to [tear parties to] shreds of shreds.'
