Israeli Politics Break

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has won the Kadima primary to replace Ehud Olmert as prime minister, but the Jerusalem Post reports that she will likely have trouble forming a government, meaning elections early next year, which would be a good thing. In my view, Livni is making a huge mistake by placing too much faith in Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas — who, even if earnest, has no power to implement any peace agreement. Before any such blunder is made, Israelis should at least have a say in the form of national elections.
