Minister of Transportation and Intelligence Yisrael Katz welcomed the decision of the Jewish Home ministers not to resign from the government.
"As I said, the ultimatum they presented to the prime minister was wrong and it is good that it was removed."
"Prime Minister Netanyahu's tenure as defense minister now enables us to lead the security campaign in an informed and consistent manner, in great harmony between the political and security echelon, in contrast to what there was during Liberman's term as defense minister."
