Bourg wins over Bin Aleazer in the Israeli labor party elections

The chairman of the Israeli Knesset has won, in a small portion over his rival Benjamin Bin Aleazer, the Israeli defense minister in the elections for the presidency of the Israeli "Labor Party" after selecting 99% of the votes estimated at 60,000.

The chairman of the election committee for the "Labor Party" said that still 3% of the ballot boxes have to be selected.

On Wednesday, Bourg and Bin Aleazer exchanged accusations after certain preliminary results of the elections were leaked about the elections which took place on Tuesday and lasted the whole day until night.

Bin Aleazer strongly criticized the voting operation and described it as a political scandal to be added to the scandals of the Israeli government.

In a press conference he held in Jerusalem on Wednesday he said that the voting centers received threats from unidentified sides.
