By JPOST.COM STAFF
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Wednesday that he will decide whether to pull the Labor party out of the coalition following the release of the final Winograd report after considering what is best for the country. Asked whether he would keep his word and leave the government after the release of the report, Barak answered: "I'll read the report and consider what is right for the country." "I remember what I said, and everything that has happened since, and I see what is happening around us…I remember everything I said and that will be one of my considerations when deciding on my position in light of the report," he said.
