Kadima to Netanyahu: State led by you is stuck
Kadima faction chairwoman slams prime minister in Knesset plenum. 'You're stuck between Barak and Begin. You're deceiving yourself. You have done nothing,' she says directly to him

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
was the subject of fierce criticism in the Knesset plenum Wednesday amid US and European disapproval and Palestinian threats of unilateralism. The Knesset debate was titled, "The government is busy surviving and fails to attend to public needs."
"Mr. Prime Minister," Kadima faction
chairwoman Dalia Itzik addressed Netanyahu, "The following statements are addressed to you as the prime minister of the State of Israel and as a person. I have more questions than political criticism for you, more vagueness than clarity: What do you want? Does sir know where he's steering our country? Do you kid yourself and us that lack of action is cautious? Does the lack of a political process serve Israel?
You must know that the status quo and apparent calm is self-deception."
Knesset Member Itzik supported Netanyahu in the battle over the Goldstone Report and
international de-legitimization of Israel, but fiercely criticized him for the current stalemate: "You are delusional if you think that a state of calm is beneficial. We are paying a price. You have done nothing," she stated.
"How is it that Israel has so much time all of a sudden? I have yet to hear of Ahmadinejad's death
and the disappearance of the Iranian problem, and that Syria has
signed peace agreements with us, and that Hamas is no longer Hamas and that Hezbollah is evaporating.
"The State of Israel is stuck amid endless problems and you are stuck between Begin and Barak,
between your gut and your head. The State of Israel led by you is stuck," Itzik concluded.
Knesset Member Ofir Akunis followed Itzik's monologue, on behalf of the Likud, and
tried to counter the accusations slamming Kadima's use of "advertising agencies" and pointing to the party's own failures.
