Livni's Obama strategy
With Senator Barack Obama's victory in the US presidential race, the stakes have been raised for Israel's February 10 general elections.

The Left's Assault on Language
On Sunday Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz drove yet another stake into the country's political discourse. Last week, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced that despite his resignation and the fact that elections have been called for February 10, he intends to renew negotiations with Syria.
