Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said during a briefing of military reporters on Tuesday that there are "bad spirits," within the government, including those who wear kippahs (skullcaps), as well as those who don't. "There are more than a few of them, who bring bad spirits upon us."

“Despite this, we will continue to lead along the right path,” he added, declaring that he has no intention to leave the Likud.
