NRG
On January 19th, NRG reported on the newest addition to the Zionist Center party. Amos Yadlin, former head of the Military Intelligence Directorate, is joining the politically center-left party's list as their security minded member who would serve as the Defense Minister. Former Defense Minister and former commander of the IDF Shaul Mofaz declined the application to serve as the security expert for this party's list due to the results of polls that predicted that the Kadima party would not achieve the voting percentage necessary to gain parliament seats.
