We will isolate Hamas and enter into political negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.”Discussing the Middle East situation, Peretz said, “Precisely because of the Iranian threat, we will build the axis of moderate countries in the Middle East.”“Preparing for the Iranian threat must be a top priority, and against the extreme axis built by Iran from Yemen, through Iraq and Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas, we will build the axis of moderate countries with Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, together with the PA. "Discussing the upcoming elections, Peretz said, “‘Just not Bibi’ is not enough. We will replace Netanyahu, as well as Netanyahu's policies.
