Member of Knesset Nir Barkat (Likud) has responded on Twitter to fellow Likud MK Gid'on Saar who mentioned Barkat's past in the Kadima party.

Barkat wrote, "Gid'on, real leadership is tested in times of crisis. You have been confused by the applause of the left and the media, and have failed to oust the prime minister. You revealed disloyalty at the most difficult hour of [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu and the Likud. The panic, losing it, and the low personal attacks on the prime minister and me won't be able to obscure this. Shame on you!"
