Likud MK hits back at ex-security officials
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLikud MK Yariv Levin, head of the influential Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in the Knesset, hits back at the former security officials who slammed Netanyahu earlier today, charging that they are “motivated by a hatred of the right-wing and of the prime minister.”
Levin also didn’t miss an opportunity to take a swipe at his party’s main rival, the Zionist Union, by linking the former commanders to its leaders, Isaac Herzog and Tzipi Livni.
“Livni and Herzog’s generals already promised us peace and we got murderous terror across the country. They promised that the 2005 Disengagement [from the Gaza Strip] would bring quiet and we got thousands of rockets. They are wrong and misleading time and time again,” he says, according to the Ynet news site.
