The chairman of the State Control Committee, MK Shelly Yachimovich, referred to the prime minister's statement regarding Operation Northern Shield.
"The IDF's actions are important and successful, but every reasonable person understands that it does not justify a live pompous press conference and that on normal days we would hear about it in a statement by an IDF spokesman. An unnecessary round that the prime minister is doing on the back of the IDF in order to change the agenda, "Yachimovich wrote on her Twitter account.
