In exchange for leaving public life all charges would be dropped against Binyamin Netanyahu. One explanation which has been offered for the contrasting “concessions” is that the construction freeze and new Palestinian fighting force is to placate Democrat senators so that they will support American concessions to the Saudis.

This would serve as proof that the Likud is nothing without Netanyahu. ________________________________________IMRA – Independent Media Review and AnalysisSince 1992 providing news and analysis on the Middle East with a focus onArab-Israeli relations{Reposted from the IMRA site}
