	New Israeli security chief sparks debate - Boston.com
		Israel will move closer to a new government on Thursday April 27, 2006 as Olmert's Kadima party is planned to sign a coalition accord with its main partner, the Labor party, boosting chances for his unilateral plan to set Israel's borders by 2010.
		The country is embroiled in a heated debate over whether Labor Party leader Amir Peretz, picked as Israel's next defense minister, has the credentials for one of the nation's most high-stress jobs -- one that includes dealing with an Iranian nuclear threat, possible anarchy in the Palestinian areas and the dismantling of Jewish settlements.
		Peretz won't be the first civilian to serve in the post, but previous civilian defense ministers such as Shimon Peres and Moshe Arens had strong ties to the military establishment.

		The thin man, representing 45% of Israel’s GDP, is the private sector: in Netanyahu’s terms, the wealth generating element of the economy.
		The finance minister’s plan, while cutting benefits and lowering the poorest Israelis’ standard of living, has done nothing to create new jobs.

		The prime minister's task was further complicated by Israel's resumption of armoured incursions into the Gaza Strip after a break for the duration of the Iraq war.
		He is already losing control of the Palestinian finances to the tough finance minister, Salam Fayad, and is loathe to let his prime minister muscle in on the other source of his power, the security forces.

		JERUSALEM — Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's leading figure opposed to the impending plan to evacuate Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip and a small section of the West Bank, resigned Sunday, saying the policy will endanger the country.
		After Netanyahu submitted his resignation letter, the Cabinet in a 17-5 vote gave its final approval Sunday to the first stage of the Gaza pullout — the dismantling of the isolated Netzarim, Kfar Darom and Morag, three of 21 Gaza settlements to be evacuated.
		Isaac Herzog, Israel's housing minister and a Labor Party member, called Netanyahu's resignation a "very cynical step." He told CNN that Netanyahu's motivation was "clearly to challenge Sharon and Likud, to amass all of the right-wing followers in that camp before somebody else may take it away from him."
