James > Netanyahu quit because Sharon is moving some settlers. He is probably positioning himself for another run at Prime Minister

He sure is. Looks like Sharon isn't right-wing enough for the Likud members.

>>Nearly half the members of Ariel Sharon's Likud faction would like his arch rival Benjamin Netanyahu to lead Israel's main governing party, while only a third want the premier to stay at the helm, a poll found.

Some 47.2 percent of Likud members surveyed by Channel Two television said they wanted Netanyahu as their leader while just 33.2 percent plumped for Sharon.

Netanyahu has made no secret of his desire to return as leader of the party -- a position he held until he was beaten in the 1999 general election by the centre-left Labour party.<<
