Yisrael Beitenu Founder & Leader

One Jerusalem's scoop that Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu Party would leave the Olmert Government was confirmed this morning by Lieberman.
This announcement will directly impact the Bush/Rice initiative to require Israel to divide Jerusalem and give up land needed to protect the Israeli people. It is now clear to the world that neither Olmert or Abbas has the political power to force through unpopular and controversial policy decisions.
While the weakening of Olmert's coalition will not force it from office today, it will put intense pressure on his coalition partner Shas to leave as well. For an overview of Israel's political situation, read here.
President Bush's prediction that there will be a peace deal before he leaves office is now even more remote than when he said it last week.
If this is the only way to stop the Olmert government from dividing Jerusalem then so be it! Jerusalem must not be divided!
