Israeli Labor members call on Barak to quit

Zionist labor party members believe they should quit Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's coalition without wait, and they will announce their idea Tuesday, ahead of the publication of the final Winograd Report on the Second Lebanon War Wednesday.

 

"Governmental stability is important, but we must also address [issues of] responsibility and national morality and make courageous decisions," reads a letter authored by senior Labor activist Yuval Elbashan.

 

According to Army Radio, additional Labor members are expected to sign the letter in the coming hours, before it is presented to Barak.
