Barak: Referendum bill questions govt's ability to lead peace process
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said at a Labor faction meeting, "The referendum bill, as was passed today by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, questions the government's willingness and ability to lead negotiations.
"Israel's government headed by Netanyahu is obliged to advance the peace process and must do everything in its power to remove the obstacles to peace placed by this unnecessary bill," he said. (Attila Somfalvi)
