    Opposition leader and Zionist Union party chief Yitzhak Herzog has announced he is suspending unity government talks with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, after the premier issued an invitation to begin talks with Yisrael Beytenu party head Avigdor Liberman. n a markedly abrupt, pithy press conference, Herzog said Netanyahu faced a choice between "going to war and funerals, and the victory of (Avigdor) Liberman and (Naftali) Bennett, or the track of hope" - namely, inviting the Zionist Union party to join the coalition instead. "These are the choices - there are no other options," he added. "We won't continue negotiations at...

The bill was passed by a majority of 64 to 53 MKs, thus preventing a deep parliamentary crisis as sources close to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon warned that if the bill was rejected, Sharon would not hesitate to call on new elections. The anti-disengagement Likud rebels decided earlier on Wednesday to vote in favor...

    Jan. 10, 2005 22:50 Analysis: A government with no grace period By GIL HOFFMAN Coalition partners Sharon, Peres Usually the first 100 days of a new coalition's tenure are the only time in Israel of genuine political tranquility. Political reporters take a vacation and allow diplomatic reporters to start doing their job, reporting about a functioning government that is temporarily free of political stress. Not this time. Monday's vote on the formation of a new government that passed thanks to the abstentions of Arab MKs and charity votes from Yahad sent Prime Minister Ariel Sharon a warning that he will...

The MKs made the commitment in a letter to United Torah Judaism MKs, in an effort to persuade UTJ not to join the coalition. The letter is seen as a last-ditch effort by the rebels to prevent the implementation of the disengagement plan by forcing Sharon to initiate early...
