Channel 10's Horowitz may join new left-wing bloc

Journalist and Channel 10 television analyst Nitzan Horowitz is reportedly considering joining the new left-wing movement, which is slated to join forces with Meretz.

Meretz chair Haim Oron met with Horowitz recently to offer him a position with the new bloc, but the broadcaster has yet to make a decision.

Sources at Meretz said yesterday the choice of Horowitz as a potential candidate stemmed from his position as a leading journalist concerned about ecological and green issues.

Horowitz's name is one of a long list mentioned as possible new additions to the movement, including broadcasting figure Meirav Michaeli.

It remains unclear which of the latest additions to the alignment intend to run on its Knesset list.

Yesterday prominent left-wing figure Tzali Reshef, one of the founders of the new bloc, was announced as one of the candidates to represent the movement on its Knesset list.
