Israeli Labor Party Leader Mitzna Resigns By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS I expected this, was surprised it took so long. JERUSALEM (AP) -- The leader of Israel's opposition Labor Party, who guided the party to its worst election defeat in 55 years, resigned Sunday, throwing Israel's peace camp into further disarray. Amram Mitzna, 58, a dovish ex-general and former mayor of the port city of Haifa, said he was convinced his policies were the right ones, but intrigue and interference from other party leaders after the drubbing at the polls in January had proven too much. His resignation cut off a meteoric career in national politics just seven months after it began. Party secretary Ofir Pines said he expected a new leader to be chosen by the end of July. Mitzna was a leading voice against Labor's rejoining the government of Ariel Sharon, and his resignation reopens the possibility that a more centrist leader might join forces with the hardline prime minister.REST AT:http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/international/AP-Israel-Politics.html?pagewanted=print&position=
