Defense Minister Ehud Barak was overheard making some snide comments during Livni's speech: "Had we been able to bring her into the government, we would have been spared this boring show," he said. "When she was in the government she was silent at least. Look at what frustration and bitterness can do to a person."
An aide to opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni said in response to comments made by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, "Once a chauvinist, always a chauvinist."
