Steinitz: Egypt is Preparing for Possible War with Israel
Excerpt:
“MK Yuval Steinitz (Likud) says that Egypt’s arms build up over the past few years has focused on the possibility of future war with Israel.”
Israelis Sleeping Through Election Campaign …
Excerpts;
“In previous elections, Ariel Sharon successfully anesthetized the public. His animosity for Ehud Barak won him the 2001 election, feelings of frustration and hopelessness worked in his favor in 2003, and Sharon – who managed to escape being held accountable, even when he was prime minister – campaigned with no platform whatsoever, and won big.”
“For several weeks it seemed that this time, things would be different. Amir Peretz won the Labor Party premiership, and said he would put social issues at the center of his campaign.”
Could the March Election be Deja Vu for Bibi?
Likud: Remove Bibi if He Can’t Bring 20 Mandates
Commentary:
Could the March elections be deja vu for Bibi remembering back to May, 1999? Netanyahu has not done himself a favor by alienating huge numbers of Likud voters, supporters of Manhigut Yehudit, by his attempts at Character Assassination and ouster of Moshe Feiglin. If Likud misses the 20 seat threshold and Bibi is canned, who will arise in his place? Shalom? Livnat? Naveh? Or will Manhigut Yehudit be there to pick up the pieces after Shalom and the remaining Rif-Raf ditch the Likud? MB

Netanyahu Outlines Plan for Limited Territorial Concessions
Excerpts:
“‘The time has come for a party to say what Israel will keep and not what we should give away,’ Netanyahu said. ‘There are three different approaches: Keeping all the land, which I think would be a mistake; withdrawing from nearly all the land, which Ehud Barak, Sharon and Amir Peretz support and I think is dangerous; and our policy, which is defensible borders for Israel.’”
“Speaking under a banner with the slogan ‘the Likud is renewing itself,’ on a stage with the 26 remaining Likud MKs, Netanyahu said his ‘defensible borders’ would include the Jordan Valley, the Golan Heights, an undivided Jerusalem, settlement blocs in Judea and Samaria and the hilltops overlooking Ben-Gurion Airport, the Gush Dan region and Route 443. ”
