Kadima: Netanyahu buying MKs to shirk fire responsibility
None
Kadima accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of "buying Knesset members" on Monday, in what they say is an attempt to avoid establishing a national inquiry commission to examine the Carmel fire failings. This following MK Uri Ariel's (National Union) announcement that he would oppose a national inquiry committee after a conversation he had with Netanyahu.
"This is political blackmail that stinks to high heaven. Netanyahu is buying MKs shamelessly thus trying to shirk his responsibility for one of the biggest catastrophes the country has ever known at any price. Netanyahu knows what he has to hide and so is investing all his efforts in foiling an inquiry into the fire, more than he invested to prevent the fire itself," a Kadima statement said. (Roni Sofer)
