Senior Blue and White Party member Moshe Yaalon has responded to Ehud Barak's return to politics by calling him "A worthy man with a lot of merits, but it is not clear to me how he can contribute to the replacement of the government."
Interviewed by Galei Tzahal, Yaalon explained, "The State of Israel in an emergency as [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu is enslaving everything to his interests."
