Sharon digs in hard on settlements, in right turn that may herald break-up of his government - Ha'aretz Daily (Apr 22, 2002) I don't know if you've noticed, scott, but all the domestic political pressure on Sharon is coming from the right. If his government falls, Bibi Netanyahu will come in. Have you heard any of Bibi's speeches lately? He makes Arik Sharon sound dovish. Observers have noted that, in embarking on a re-election campaign, Sharon has little option but to make a sharp turn to the right in order to cut off the bandwagon of his main Likud rival, hawkish former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Ha'aretz is a left-wing paper, but even Ha'aretz is only discussing Labor leaving the government, not Labor's bringing down the government. Everyone knows that Labor does not have the votes to bring down the government. Labor has nowhere to go but the dusty street outside.
