Peretz: Don't take Ben-Gurion's name in vain
None
The microphone was turned off during Knesset Member Amir Peretz's speech at the Labor Party's first gathering after the resignation of Party Chairman Ehud Barak. It isn't clear why the hitch, which was fixed within minutes, occurred.
In his speech, Peretz addressed the MKs that resigned from the party: "I turn to the party, whose name I need not mention – don't take Ben-Gurion's name in vain. It is an offence against the holy sanctity; you have committed sacrilege against the values of this State." (Attila Somfalvi)
