Ehud Barak’s office issued a statement in response to the report, saying that the Defense Minister and the Labor Party “are committed to advancing a two-state solution, while upholding interests crucial to Israel’s security.”<\/p>\n
“This is an undignified statement that does not dignify Ya’alon,” sources close to Barak said, adding that “Peace Now is an integral and important part of the democratic and pluralistic debate in Israeli society.”<\/strong> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
