Yair Golan has been elected as the new leader of Israel's center-left Labor Party with 95% of the votes. Golan, a former deputy chief of staff of the IDF, is known for his actions during the Oct 7 Hamas attack, where he rescued people from the front lines. His election comes with a promise to unite the left and provide a strong opposition voice against the current government. However, his past controversial statements and actions, including calls to starve Gazans and using Palestinian civilians as human shields, have sparked criticism. Golan's leadership marks a significant moment for the so-called 'Zionist Left' in Israel.
