Three opposition factions, United Torah Judaism, Likud, and National Union- National Religious Party, have requested a special Knesset session to discuss the Winograd Committee’s Interim Report. The request, delivered to the Speaker of the Knesset, is expected to be honored later this week.
The freshly published report harshly criticized Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz, and former Chief of General Staff Dan Halutz for their actions during the Second Lebanon War.
