Ya'alon on Peace Now affair: My statements misunderstood
Vice Premier Moshe Ya'alon said at the end of his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which he was reprimanded for calling Peace Now "a virus," that his statements were misinterpreted.
Ya'alon asked to clarify the statement he made at the beginning of the week, saying that he did not intend to criticize the government's policies or the prime minister. He apologized if his statements were understood otherwise. The minister added that he recognizes the importance of open and democratic public discourse and of the importance of varying opinion within the society. (Attila Somfalvi)
