Former minister Haim Ramon has attacked former prime minister Ehud Barak on Wednesday's announcement of a return to politics at the head of a party that will run in the September Knesset election.
Interviewed by Israeli public radio, Thursday morning, the former Labor Knesset member said, "Barak does not add to the left bloc. No one will move from the moderate right because of him. Only two months ago there were elections. Neither Blue and White nor Labor wanted to touch Barak. He begged them to take them and no one wanted to. They knew what they were talking about."
