Oh, THIS ought to make things interesting:
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will announce on Monday that he intends to quit the Likud and form a new centrist political party, sources close to Sharon said on Sunday.
Sharon is to visit President Moshe Katsav on Monday and ask him to dissolve the Knesset. This would set off a process that would lead to elections in 90 days, unless a new coalition forms within the next three weeks...
The Likud Party is breaking up. This will no doubt mean Netanyahu comes back to lead the remnant of Likud, and maybe with a split conservative vote there's an opportunity for peace. Or, more likely, another split, coalition government which can't accomplish anything.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian half of Israel-Palestine has its own elections in January...
