Peace House leader Daniela Weiss said Wednesday that the Yesha Council "lost its right to lead since the cooperation with the government during the eviction from Gush Katif and northern Samaria."

She accused the Yesha Council members of "amassing great economic power with the government's sponsorship," and said that "for this reason, they are afraid and refuse to let go of the government's udders."

She was reacting to sharp criticism leveled at her by Yesha Council head Danny Dayan.
