New Elections May Return Netanyahu to Power as Shas Rejects Israel Coalition Govt

If the election does happen, polls suggest that Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party would gain significantly, and could be returned to power. Israeli media suggests that a renewed alliance between Netanyahu and Shas may have played a role in the decision.

Netanyahu is considerably more hawkish than Livni. He has called for attacking Iran, claiming the nation is unique in the world in being completely immune to deterrence. He has also vowed to resume settlement building if he retakes the prime ministry, and has publicly condemned the Gaza ceasefire and peace talks with Syria.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

If Netanyahu does win the election for the position of Prime Minister, all bets are off regarding any notion of a Palestinian state.

As reported in netanyau.org, 17 January, 2002:

The headline states:

"Netanyahu Rejects Palestinian State"

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who polls indicate has a strong chance of returning to power, said Thursday that a Palestinian state must never be established and that Yasser Arafat must be overthrown."
