Orit Mofaz, wife of Transportation and Road Safety Minister Shaul Mofaz, told Kadima supporters Monday night said she supports her husband's bid to be Prime Minister not because "this is what I want but because this is what he wants, and I back his choice."
Her husband, who is trailing behind front-runner Kadima leadership candidate Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, said that "women can serve in any position in the government." Earlier in the campaign, he had accused the Foreign Minister of being weak and indecisive.
