Netanyahu to form Israel cabinet

Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of the right-of-centre Likud party, will be asked to form Israel's next government.

President Shimon Peres had been trying to persuade Israel's main parties to form a power-sharing government.

But Tzipi Livni, leader of the centrist Kadima, suggested she would rather be in opposition than join a government led by Mr Netanyahu.

The Likud leader has the support or religious and right-wing parties in the Israeli parliament.

I just came across on the internet The Encyclopedia of the Palastinian Problem 1991 - a somewhat [but only very slightly] pro-Palastinian-biased view. I think the information in it is correct and speaks for itself. It doesn't paint a very kind picture of some right-wing elements in Israel from the get-go. The last progressive leader there was murdered in a state exectution..and Israel has been drifting right ever since....and seems to be about to drift still further....very sad. I know many there are for Peace, for finding a real and fair solution, etc. As in the UK, US and many other countries, peacniks and progressives, humanitarian types are marginalized and when they get too much power or attention assassinated.
