http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127075Mofaz Has Support of MayorsThough Livni has significant support among her fellow MKs, Minister Mofaz, on the other hand, is doing well outside the Knesset. Some 30 mayors are expected to take part in the official launching of his candidacy this evening in Jerusalem. Mofaz will concentrate on his security record, having served as Defense Minister and IDF Chief of Staff. He has expressed strong confidence that he will win, and says that he will form a new national unity government by November.Mofaz escaped a potentially akward situation when Kadima withdrew the demand for a commitment to remain in the party. Having served as a Likud government minister, he announced his candidacy for Likud party leader in December 2005, promising not to leave the party - and then, with the polls showing him losing, he abruptly quit the Likud and joined Kadima. There has been talk that if he loses this time, he may return to the Likud.
