Livni criticizes Rafi Eitan's endorsement of Mofaz

Kadima leader Tzipi Livni on Monday decried the hypocrisy of former pensioners affairs minister Rafi Eitan, who last week endorsed Kadima primary candidate Shaul Mofaz for party leadership.
According to a statement released by her office, Eitan had said that he campaigned for Livni not to form a government conditioned on ultra-orthodox support after the 2008 election, while now he supports the haredi parties.
The statement added that "today those that campaigned to thwart a Livni-led government [in 2008] have joined those that are campaigning to thwart a Livni victory in the Kadima primaries."
