A defection from National Union honestly surprises me. I thought that was the most right wing, anti-disengagement party out there. That the Prime Minister has convinced a National Union MK to come over says that Bibi's claims that Kadima is leftist won't hold much water.
Basically, as I see it, Likud is basically, at this point, bypassed by events. Gaza, whatever the merits of the withdrawal, is gone. Now Sharon intends to, whatever he says in public, withdraw behind the "temporary" wall and annex those areas of the West Bank to Israel.
Am I reading this right?
