Maj. Gen. (res.) Moti Almoz, former IDF spokesman, said in remarks reported by Yedioth Ahronoth that yesterday's Knesset vote caused the government to fall, calling it 'discrimination between blood and blood' and a 'finger in the eye of the central Zionist spine.' He said the vote amounted to a transfer of power.
Former IDF spokesman Maj. Gen. (res.) Moti Almoz continued his sharp criticism of the government in remarks reported by the Yedioth Ahronoth the source on Thursday morning. Almoz said that the night before last marked a 'transfer of power' in Israel, and that yesterday's Knesset vote caused the government to fall. He described the vote as 'discrimination between blood and blood' and a 'finger in the eye of the central Zionist spine.' The comments echo those Almoz made in an interview on 103FM earlier today, which The Zioneer reported at 10:46. In that interview, Almoz had similarly described the vote as discriminatory and causing the government to fall, though he referred to the 'central cynical spine' in that instance. The current report cites the phrase 'central Zionist spine,' suggesting a slightly different wording. The vote, which took place yesterday, has been described by Almoz and others as a no-confidence motion that effectively ended the coalition.
