Histadrut head sees Netanyahu as prime minister

Ofer Eini: He's already become half a socialist, and I hope that in his next term he'll become a full socialist.

"We've all seen the election results, and I think that Benjamin Netanyahu will be the next prime minister," Histadrut chairman Ofer Eini told “IDF Radio" (Galei Zahal) today.

Eini added, "In his last campaign, Netanyahu presented a socialist platform. He's already become a half a socialist, and I hope that in his next term he'll become a full socialist."

Eini also expressed the hope that, as prime minister, Netanyahu and the finance minister that he will appoint will give workers priority. "The main thing is that there's an economic crisis, and I hope that they'll take care to meet with us and the employers to create a stronger and healthier economy. I'm a natural optimist, and I hope it will happen."
