A close friend of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak criticised Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for naming Barak as "the worst prime minister in our history."
Speaking to Army Radio, Dani Yatom said "I heard Barak myself say that he is not planning a comeback. I hope he'll change his mind."
Yatom continued, "I am very troubled by the response of the Prime Minister, since some of it made a low use of the Hebrew language - something which is innappropriate for a prime minister."
