Labor Threatens Walk Out of Israeli Government
With either renewed purpose for peace in the Middle East or due to more base political motivations of power, Israel’s Labor Party has threatened to walk out of the country’s coalition government unless negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis substantially proceed in the coming weeks. —JCL The Guardian: Israel’s Labor party will walk out of the rightwing-dominated coalition government unless serious negotiations with the Palestinians get under way in the coming weeks, according to cabinet minister Avishay Braverman, an expected challenger to Ehud Barak for his party’s leadership. “We need to move as soon as possible. The only way to guarantee the state of the Jewish people is to move boldly after the US election,” Braverman, the minister for minorities, said in an interview. If Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu missed the opportunity, “Labor will not be in the coalition government. If there are the beginnings of serious negotiations, Labor stays; if not, Labor leaves.” Read more Related Entries October 24, 2010 Israeli Settlers Destroying Palestinians’ Olive Trees October 22, 2010 Israeli Officers Under Investigation
