Ehud Barak and the Labor Party came to power a year and a half ago. They failed miserably at everything they touched both in terms of domestic policies and foreign policies. But even so overall Israel bought more time for itself with the government changes coupled with one international conference after another. Since Oslo om 1993 the Israelis have actually expanded their settlements in the occupied territories by more than 70%. More Palestinian lands have been taken, by-pass roads have been built, new restrictions on Palestinian travel have been implimented. Barak apparently decided he didn't want to face Bibi Netanyahu four or five months from now. He also apparently decided he didn't want to allow a fight for power within his own Labor party, where various rebellions were already breaking out in public substantially disparaging their own top man, none other than former Chief of Staff General Barak. So he decided to risk Sharon. The Barak resignation is an attempt to position the choice before Israelis as Barak and Labor versus Sharon and Likud. Barak wants Sharon as his opponent for his chances of beating him in an election just for Prime Minister are far greater than beating Netanyahu in a general election. It was six years ago now that Israel changed its political system creating a system where voters actually voted directly for Prime Minister. That new law also mandates that if a Prime Minister resigns elections are called within 60 days and those who can run for the office must be members of the Knesset. When Netanyahu lost in a landslide to Barak he decided to go into political exile and not stay in the Knesset at this time. Ariel Sharon managed to become head of the party, but he had to agree that after two years he would let the party choose again who would lead it. Most people thought this was not too big a deal because no one anticipated there would be elections during this two year period. No one other than Sharon it now seems. So now the tables are turned on everyone. And with Sharon as his opponent Barak and friends think they just might manage to scare everyone enough -- Jews and Arabs alike -- to propel Barak himself right back into the same office he is now resigning from.
