Former prime minister Ehud Barak praised Labor Party leadership candidate Amir Peretz on Thursday morning.
Responding to Wednesday evening's hostilities in the Gaza area, Barak wrote on Twitter, "Another successful interception by Iron Dome tonight. This morning, in the midst of the pre-election turmoil and against the background of the tests on the way, it is worth remembering Amir Peretz, of Sderot, who made the decision that began the journey to Iron Dome. Even then, there was opposition."
