Yisrael Beiteinu: Replace Labor with Kadima
An Yisrael Beiteinu official on Wednesday called to "replace the Labor party with Kadima." The official, who is close to Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman, Minister Avigdor Lieberman, said that "Barak was dragging the government to the left and creating a Peace Now government."
The source added that Kadima must be joined to the coalition so that the government can focus on internal issues such as replacing the system of government, as promised prior to the elections." A statement issued Tuesday by Defense Minister Ehud Barak's office said Lieberman's comments in front of the United Nations General Assembly "did not reflect the government's stance and played into the hands of Israel's enemies."
