Olmert: Barak is the one delaying a military operation in Gaza
By JPOST.COM STAFF
"The person delaying and preventing a military operation in Gaza is Defense Minister [Ehud Barak]," Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday at the weekly cabinet meeting.
On Friday Barak blasted the government, saying if it wasn't conducting its affairs in the shadow of a Kadima primary, the decision on a Gaza truce would have been made long ago.
Speaking at a convention of Labor branch secretaries in Tel Aviv, Barak said that "this government is incapable of making a decision about Hamas, the Syrians, Lebanon, Iran and the US. There is a shadow of primaries...all cabinet discussions are effectively discussions with the media."
