Ex-PM Barak slams Netanyahu’s ‘whining’ at solidarity rally
Former prime minister Ehud Barak slams Netanyahu for the speech he delivered at solidarity rally in Tel Aviv in which he accused the media and the left-wing of trying to topple his right-wing government.
“The suspect from Balfour Street continues to whine,” Barak writes on Twitter.
“Likud members are proud and honest citizens, not puppets,” he says. “There is no persecution, but there is corruption, there is no leadership, only panic.”
Netanyahu in his remarks called Barak “an old man with a new beard.”
