The Israeli Kadima party has not held its primary. Livni is leading in the general polls, but is behind Saul Mofaz among self-identified party members. Even if she does become Prime Minister until the next general elections, her party is likely to face near total defeat because the voters are still furious about the handling of the Lebanon war, and government corruption.

Just for the record.

i think that you should give her a chance. you need someone with a millitery background to lead istael threw these times.Iran,hezbollah,hamas and others are gearing up and they will never talk peace plus it is better to go against a person basw os issues not on gender.people that do so lose in the end.
