Opposition leader Shaul Mofaz (Kadima) slammed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's attempt on Sunday to expand his authority.
"This is a step towards circumventing opinions opposing those of the prime minister – in other words, the defense establishment of the past and present," Mofaz, a former IDF chief of staff, said.

"The current move further destabilizes the prime minister's decision-making process," Mofaz stated. "We have crucial decisions ahead of us, and dealing with procedure to weaken opposing voices only increases the fear that decisions are being made with a lack of judgement."
