What's Old is New Again
Since Ariel Sharon has quit the conservative party, called the Likud party, in Israel and started his own (called the Forward party), the Likudites need a new leader and will have an election for one on December 19, 2005. In this story, Benjamin "Bebe" Netanyahu is mentioned as the early favorite for the post. Back when my political outlook was murky and coalescing, I didn't like Netanyahu very much as Prime Minister; but ever since he left that post, he's been very impressive every time I've seem him talk. Israel could do worse.
Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom and Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz will almost certainly run against Netanyahu to lead Likud.
