They Voted 'No' But Will They Serve?

I initiated an appeal to the members of the proposed new Ministerial Committee on Settlement Affairs to survey and review all claims of private property in Judea and Samaria with the explciti aim of identifying those plots distributed gratis by the Kings of Jordan, an illegal act stemming from their status as occupiers.

Well, this just came in:-

The Cabinet today (Sunday, 17 June 2012), approved the establishment of the Ministerial Committee on Settlement Affairs to be chaired by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Vice Premier Shaul Mofaz, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Industry, Trade and Labor Minister Shalom Simhon and Minister Michael Eitan opposed the decision. Vice Premier and Negev and Galilee Development Minister Silvan Shalom, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, Energy and Water Resources Minister Uzi Landau, Immigrant Absorption Minister Sofa Landver and Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov abstained.

Mofaz and Barak are to be on the committee.  Will they serve?
