Ayalon's Plan: Lean on Shas, Call Elections, Use Shabak
Israel's Bald Skinhead Punk Wanna Be
by Gil Ronen
(IsraelNN.com) Minister Ami Ayalon (Labor) met with Shas' spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Sunday in the hope of persuading him to tell his party to not leave the government after the Annapolis summit. Ayalon said afterwards that Shas "will not leave the coalition so fast" even if negotiations with the PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi Authority advance following the Annapolis summit.
He said that Rabbi Ovadia did not tell him how Shas would act, but that the spiritual leader had listened to him attentively.
Speaking on Channel 10 TV's "London and Kirschenbaum" show Sunday afternoon, Ayalon said that if Avigdor Lieberman's party "Yisrael Beiteinu" bolts the coalition he "will not shed a tear," just as he "did not shed tears of joy" when Minister for Strategic Threats Lieberman joined the coalition.

ck, and then elections will be held "against the background" of the deal. Asked by the interviewers about the right wing's opposition to territorial concessions as evinced by a recent paid advertisement, Ayalon said the Shabak (General Security Service) would have to deal with that problem.
Ayalon, a former Shabak chief who was previously Commander of the Navy and a highly decorated soldier, is considered to be the most leftist of Labor's ministers.
Eldad: Lieberman Helping Tibi
MK Aryeh Eldad (NU/NRP) said Sunday that Lieberman is under pressure to leave the government because of Annapolis. Eldad was lashing back at Lieberman, after Lieberman badmouthed him and MK Effie Eitam in a Maariv interview. Lieberman was quoted as saying that Eldad, Eitam and activist Baruch Marzel belong to the "delusional right wing" and that their actions only serve the political aspirations of nationalist Arab MKs Tibi and Barakeh.
MK Eldad said Lieberman's attack is proof of the pressure he is under because of the fact that he is a senior partner in diplomatic moves that are leading towards the creation of an Arab state in the Land of Israel. "Lieberman has a fixed modus operandi," Eldad told Arutz Sheva. "Every time he takes a sharp left turn and can no longer be the spokesman for the Right, he starts attacking the Left and the Arabs. This time he has also attacked his colleagues in the Right."
"Lieberman's accusations show that he is feeling pressure," Eldad explained. He is sitting in the government which is going to Annapolis on the basis of the [Madrid] International Conference, the Cairo Conference, and more. He knows he is aiding Barakeh and Ahmed Tibi in this way."
