Big News In Israel
Israel's Sharon due to see president for election - Yahoo! News
First Peres is ousted from the leadership of the Labor Party and now Sharon leaves the Likud. Early elections are on the way.

Don't know about Melech Yisrael, but certainly Melech Ha-Likud.
Truth is, I have very mixed feelings about the whole thing. Looks like we're headed towards a coalition including Labor under Peretz and Sharon's new centrist party.
Again, I think the question is going to come down to who there is to talk to on the other side. Hamas is slated to gain some political power in the upcoming election. Sharon has vowed to never negotiate with a government that includes Hamas. Does this mean he will now change his position? Do we want to negotiate with a government which includes Hamas? I guess it might be OK if Hamas no longer had a military wing and was just a political, albeit religious, party, and provided they recognized Israel's right to exist. All longs shots, and I don't think Abu Mazen has the balls to disarm them anyway.
