Some of his actions also indicate that he's going more in the direction of Sharon than that of Likud. I also wonder if he'll be able to win the election - I hope so.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626228106192215280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448657.post-1138512504121092582006-01-29T00:28:00.000-05:002006-01-29T00:28:00.000-05:00I agree, and would take the liberty of saying I th...I agree, and would take the liberty of saying I think many people agree or have thaught, that while serving as the majority in the Palastinian parlinment Hamas will rethink its position in relation to Isreal and continue negotians for a peaceful two state solution to the conflict. My concern as to the success of the palestinian government under Hamas is the Isreali government. Were Isreal still under Ariel Sharon and a strong Kadima I would be less worried as to the continuation of the peace process. My concern lies with Ehud Olmert, firstly I would ask if he would continue the policys with reguard to the palestinains as Sharon and Kadima or would he lean to the side of, and possibly rejoin, Likud. My second question is that if Mr. Olmert were to stick to current Kadima policy will he be able to win this up coming election in spite of the fact that Hamas coming to power might creat a sentiment for more conservative government policy possible under the Likud Party.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256575609824610744noreply@blogger.com
