Barak says won’t contend for premiership
Former prime minister Ehud Barak says that he has no intention to run for the premiership, despite a near constant criticism of Netanyahu on social media. Speaking at a Labor Party meeting, Barak says he doesn’t want to run in elections at this time, even with his former party.
He didn’t spare criticism of the government, however, saying Netanyahu and Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett are “brainwashing the public and mixing up national security and the security of the two-state solution,” Army Radio reports.
