Labor sources: Barak seeks early general elections

By Mazal Mualem, Shahar Ilan and Barak Ravid






Defense Minister Ehud Barak and opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu met late Saturday night at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv to discuss political developments, following the election of Kadima's new leader, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

They agreed to continue to regularly meet, while sources in Labor say the two men are cooperating to prepare for the possibility of early elections, which Barak seeks.

Livni is likely to replace Prime Minister Ehud Olmert when the latter announces his resignation, possibly as early as today.


Barak and Netanyahu are Livni's rivals in a race for the premiership if early elections are called. Barak's aides said that since Livni was not working to establish a national unity government, action needed to be taken in that direction.

Senior Labor Party figures said Barak understands that he has to prevent Livni from consolidating her popularity from the prime minister's chair, but does not want to be criticized for provoking elections. Barak is said to believe that Netanyahu will not join a Livni government, and this could be his pretext to call for elections. Livni's associates said it was strange that Barak met with the opposition leader before finding time to meet with Livni, despite her attempts since Thursday to schedule such a meeting.

Netanyahu has called on Livni to announce early elections. A senior official close to the foreign minister said Livni was considering offering Netanyahu the Finance Ministry. If Netanyahu were to accept, Livni's aides said she would offer the Foreign Ministry to the current finance minister, Roni Bar-On.

Netanyahu served as finance minister in Ariel Sharon's government, leading a series of economic measures including the cutting of child allowances. A proposal to Netanyahu might put pressure on Barak to join a Livni government so as not to lose important portfolios to Likud.

Olmert is expected to announce his intention to resign at today's cabinet meeting. Olmert may also meet with President Shimon Peres as early as today to submit his resignation letter. Peres is due to leave for New York tomorrow night to attend the United Nations General Assembly, and will return a week from today. He is reportedly considering putting off his trip by a day to begin the consultations.

After the prime minister's resignation, which goes into effect immediately, Peres would begin marathon consultations with party leaders, with the intention of appointing the candidate with the best chance to form a new government.

Was this when he planned to resign? Or is it early?

heya.... :hojase34: :gi34::gi34::gi34:

What ever I take his head off my self if I have to. I come great Scottish family so he won't die in disgrace. And its swift and quick death. No suffering Involved.

I believe it was not what was planned from the beginning.....he supposed to remaind as a Prime Minister till Livni will form the Paliament....

Seems she changed her mind and asked for him to leave as soon as possible...

Hello GAIA.
What is your personal opinion of Livni ? Thanks.

sheeeeesh...

You come from a "great Scottish family" huh? Why can't you speak english then?

I come from Great Scottish Family that might have to drink beer with you.

Gaia his replacement from the Kadima party will also attempt to divide the holy land and her fate unfortunately will be the same as Olmert,Katsav,Sharon,and Rabin.Cursed.And that is also for Peres.They are all cursed by the hand of God and will continue to fall one by one...

Well my Bald headed friend and I KNOW THAT you have massive baldness on your head. HA HA HA ITS GOOD to Scottish. I still Have A full head of hair and its the same color I was born with. I litterly stick my sword up up poor excuse of DNA.

I am a bit concerned to tell you the truth....all our lasts 'great heros' are gone, we dont have much options but to try....
I would love to believe she is strong enough to release Shalit and to deal with Hamas....the Syrians are now celebrating because they believe she is 'weak' so they will achieve all what they want....
They call her...the Mossad Beauty...kinda mocking her.
I think is too big for her the job...in my humble opinion, but I could be wrong...


"The ambitious Livni has become the new 'Iron Lady' who will make decisions of war and peace that will determine the region's future… Livni has all of the abilities that make it possible for her to accept this high office. These are the abilities that all of Israel's prime ministers have possessed, from Ben Gurion to Ehud Olmert."

You're about as Scottish as babaganoush..

Olmert, end this farce


Outgoing prime minister’s diplomatic moves lack public support, legitimacy

Gilad Sharon ( the son of...)






Time and again we hear that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has agreed, in the framework of his talks with the Palestinians, to allow thousands of refugee descendents into Israel, to hand over Jerusalem’s Old City, to give up the Jordan Rift Valley and Dead Sea, and to hand over areas in the Negev as part of territorial tradeoffs.

The prime minister does not deny the repeated reports, which raises suspicions that they contain some truth.


There are those, including me, who do not believe the tales regarding the respect commanded by Olmert before he became PM. It would suffice to say that nobody really intended for him to make it to his highly coveted post. Yet he ended up getting there, so one could expect him to adhere to the basic principles of the person he replaced.

Olmert needed plenty of chutzpah and very little wisdom to renounce what his predecessor got from the Americans through great effort – in a letter from the president, which was endorsed by an overwhelming majority in both houses of Congress:

• No to the entry of refugees to Israel.

• No return to the 1967 borders, and no mention of territorial tradeoffs.

• No possibility of skipping stages in the Road Map: First, Palestinians must end terrorism, dismantled terror organizations, and confiscate weapons; only then, discussions on a final-status agreement would follow.



The previous government also received messages from the Syrians regarding their desire for negotiations, yet back then, as opposed to now, it understood that what really interests Assad is to end the international isolation and pressure. And that’s exactly what happened: Assad contemptuously dismissed Olmert after the latter got him out of isolation.

The prime minister’s moves do not enjoy public support or Knesset support. The levels of support and trust he enjoys are among the lowest ever. I, as a voter, feel that he is deceiving me – and many others. We did not intend for our representative to bring refugees to the country, hand over the Old City, or give up parts of the Negev. He has no mandate or moral authority for the desperate moves he is trying to lead.

Menachem Begin presented a peace treaty with Egypt, yet even though he did not mention it before the elections he enjoyed the support of a large public and Knesset majority. Similarly, the departure from Gaza in 2005 enjoyed large and consistent public and Knesset support.

Olmert, on the other hand, is being sneaky. Nobody, including his close associates, believes in his moves, which are devoid of legitimacy.

So Olmert, for your sake and for our sake, do the right thing for once and end this farce, which jeopardizes Israel and will tie the hands of the person who replaces you.

Gaia is it possible that Iran,Hezbollah or Syria would try to provoke something today or this week to get Israel while their in transition? Also is it safe to assume that Israel won't attack Iran while they have no gov't?

"On Sunday morning, Olmert informed the cabinet that he would be stepping down, just 33 months after taking office." (From link)


Nice round Free Mason number...)

I wouldn't be too worry about that... we are always alert and very ready for an 'eventuality'...even all the political issues...

we have only 1 week before ramadan is up


tonight in middle of night attack on iran with usa back and support....

ww3 gog magog is about to be started


nobody home in

isis ra el ... aka.... god god god ....israel

Were still here. I will gladly take your head off in the name of peace. I have no Malice towards you brother.
What Im saying If I have to die before Millions I would rather have my head Severed by A man of honor.

I do have a feeling that an attack in Iran's nuke sites may happen this week. Olmert from what I understand will still be in charge of a transition gov't until Livini can get a gov't together. Or they will form an emergency gov't. According to what I have been reading Israel is running out of time to do something. I wonder with Ahmadinejad coming to America tonight to speak at the UN on Tuesday if Israel would hit them while he is in the U.S.? Gaia any thoughts on this possibility?

Who cares?

One terrorist out, another terrorist in. Just another day in LaLa Land.
