Yaacov: Barak has mapped out a tough stance for negotiations on a final peace deal with Arafat. He said again Tuesday that he would retain Israeli control over all of Jerusalem, keep large blocs of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and ensure that a Palestinian entity would be demilitarized. (Reuters) How does this significantly differ from Netanyahu?

Voting ends personality-driven campaign Throughout the personality-driven campaign, Israeli voters told pollsters they didn't see much difference on the issues between Netanyahu and Barak. The one issue that substantially divides the two -- how to revive the peace process -- barely rippled throughout the sometimes vicious campaign. Netanyahu, who froze peace talks with the Palestinians in December, has said they must fulfill a long list of demands before he brings Israel back to the table. He also backs a crisscross pattern of Jewish in the West Bank that would make Palestinian statehood, something he opposes, virtually impossible. Barak wants Israel to return to its commitments under the Wye River peace agreement brokered by President Clinton last October. The deal calls on Israel to cede land to the Palestinians in exchange for security measures. Barak also wants to contain Jewish settlements and advocates a separation from the Palestinians. cnn.com
