Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzhik, who has now been appointed to head Kadima's elections task force, attacked the Likud Sunday, "We don't have recycled candidates." She pointed out that some of the recent personalities running with Likud for the coming elections had already been in Likud, and clearly expressed their decision not to stay there.

Itzhik said, "the question in elections is who will sit behind the wheel and steer, who will lead the State. We understand the responsibility that rests on our shoulders. At this very moment new candidates are coming to our camp, not recycled."
