Barak Chides Dichter for 'Perishable Items' Statement
(IsraelNN.com) Defense Minister Ehud Barak scolded Minister of Public Security Avi Dichter in Sunday's cabinet session, for his statement regarding the danger that Ashkelon's residents will become "perishable items."
"Ashkelon's residents are not perishable items and no one thinks of them as that," Barak said, "just as none of the government ministers thought that Tel Aviv's residents or those of Jerusalem or Netanya were perishable items during the period of terror attacks."
"I do not remember a minister in Israel's governments who spoke this way," Barak chided Dichter. "I advise you not to speak in this manner. Our duty in the government is to keep a cool head," he added.
