Lawmakers from ultra-Orthodox parties Shas and United Torah Judaism told Israel Radio Monday that Labor party leader Amir Peretz has been seeking their support for a potential presidential run next year.
Peretz has often said he would vie for the presidency as President Reuven Rivlin's seven-year term draws to an end, in June 2021.
According to the report, Agency Chairman Isaac Herzog, the son of Israel's sixth President Chaim Herzog, is also mulling a presidential run next year.
