Barak's office: Brik Committee 'freeze' would be short, temporary

Following the attorney general's notice to the government about freezing the activities of the Brik Committee, investigating the Galant affair, the defense minister's office clarified that this would be a short, temporary delay only. It was also said that Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein were working together on the issue "with understanding and coordination."

Barak's office said the defense minister told the attorney general in advance about his intention to set up an internal committee to investigate the Galant document. (Hanan Greenberg)
