Via Fox News...Will Livni be PM?
It's going to be very hard for Livni to form a gov't.
Kadima was already in power, and the only reason Likud didn't win a majority was the continued Hamas rocket attacks.Even during the cease fire and election campaign Hamas continued with the rockets. The Palestinians never miss a chance to miss a chance.
If they had sat tight and waited out the election they might have gotten a bit closer to a PM with whom they could bargain. The rockets pushed voters even farther to the Right. The critical margin were those voters who decided to support a hard Right nationalist party instead of Likud.Livni will get a month or two to form a gov't, and then Bibi will be in charge.
That won't be good for Hamas or the average Gaza resident.It also will make it tougher on Obama and Mitchell. Mitchell showed some serious diplomatic chops in N. Ireland, but this will be far tougher. Folks in Eire (even Rev Paisley) were ready for peace. I think the Israelis are. Hamas isn't.
