MK Tirosh: Mofaz's decision to take break 'a mistake'

By JPOST.COM STAFF
MK Ronit Tirosh (Kadima) said Friday that Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz's decision to take a time-out from political life following his defeat to Tzipi Livni in the Kadima leadership contest was "a mistake." However, Tirosh, who was part of the Mofaz camp in the Kadima race, told Israel Radio that it was a temporary move, saying that it would be a one- or two-month break. She added that the transportation minister was hurt by an "unfair" primary and that the party's whole system worked in Livni's favor.
