Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak strongly criticized President Shimon Peres on Thursday, after media reports revealed that Peres is expected to tell U.S. President Barack Obama that he does not believe Israel should attack Iran in the near future, Haaretz reports.
The two presidents are due to meet in Washington D.C. on Sunday March 4.
"With all due respect to various officeholders from the past and present, the rumor that there is only one government in Israel has also reached the United States," Barak said sarcastically in private conversations, adding: "In the end, there is an elected Israeli government that makes the decisions and that is its responsibility."
