Silvan Shalom: We aren't here to implement Kadima platform
None
MK Silvan Shalom slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent moves, and called on him not to bow to US and western pressure.
"One year ago we took up the reins of government when we received the trust of the voter and presented our path," Shalom said during a Likud convention in Tel Aviv. "We waved the flag of settlement, in case anyone has forgotten. They told the prime minister to recognize the two-state solution, then to freeze construction, then to start negotiations. (But) there are no negotiations. There was a party that took that road – it's now in the opposition. Are we in government in order to implement their platform? When you stick with your principles, you succeed." (Attila Somfalvi)
