The Israeli defense minister, Moshe Yaalon, announced on Friday that he was resigning, an abrupt move that comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly conducts negotiations with a far-right party to join his government.

If Bibi opts for hardliner Lieberman, there will never be peace in that region.

Israel defense chief quits, warns of "extremist" rise under Netanyahu
Quote:
 
Israel's defense minister resigned on Friday, saying the nation was being taken over by "extremist and dangerous elements" after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moved to replace him with a far-right politician in an effort to strengthen his coalition.

Political sources say Netanyahu has offered long-time rival Avigdor Lieberman the defense portfolio, a post crucial for a country on a perennial war footing. The Defence Ministry also runs civil affairs in the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians struggling for statehood live in friction with Jewish settlers.

The Likud Party is spiraling out of control because it has led the nation down a blind alley over the Palestinian question. Netanyahu's only room for maneuver is on the ever-more-extreme right. His crash is inevitable and draws closer by the day. Only ISL is keeping him in power now.

All sides lacking any answer to the Palestinian Question, it has been filed in the "Unsolved Mystery" drawer and will be ignored...Westbank Palestinians have seen the economic benefits of relative independence that Gaza gained.............. :lol:
