Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer confronted Minister Avishai Braverman in a Labor party meeting over the latter's letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he threatened that Labor ministers would withdraw from the government should direct talks fail to show political results.
Ben-Eliezer strongly criticized Braverman and said: "Now is not the time for threats." Labor Chairman and Defense Minister Ehud Barak also endorsed support of the prime minister. (Attila Somfalvi)
