Watch Israeli Politics
Today the Foreign Minister of Israel Tzipi Livni won her party’s primary and will have 45 days to create a unity government if she is to become the next Prime Minister of Israel. If she does not form a majority coalition the current Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert will be in charge of a caretaker government until general elections can be held in early 2009. There have been rumors that other parties in the government are plotting to keep her from forming a coalition so that they can win in early elections. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen. For now though Israel is dangerously lacking a strong leader until things get settled at the very least. This situation may bring any number of possibilities, so pay attention.
