Former prime minister Ehud Barak resumed active participation in the Labor Party on Monday in a last minute drive of election campaigning.
MK Shalom Simhon, a long-time confidant of Barak, arranged the former prime minister's return to the party through a series of talks with current Party Chairman Amir Peretz.
"Shalom [Simhon] wanted to see Barak on the party list, and he did not succeed," said a spokeswoman for Simhon, who suggested that Labor might still arrange for Barak to receive a ministerial post.
"There is a chance that Labor will demand the defense portfolio, and then Barak could take it… He is the most suited."if(window.location.pathname.indexOf("656089") != -1){console.log("hedva connatix");document.getElementsByClassName("divConnatix")[0].style.display ="none";}
