President Moshe Katzav said last night that it is likely that the question of whether to retreat from Gaza and relocate the Jewish residents will have to be decided in a plebiscite.
Katzav told the group that it is, in fact, not clear whether the people support Prime Minister Sharon's disengagement plan, and that as such, "such a drastic step requires a national vote to determine it." He said that the vote could either be a yes-no referendum on this specific question, or new national elections.
Katzav surprised his guests when he said that Sharon told him he does not plan to carry out the disengagement in a blitz, contrary to what had been reported.

If we would compare the minutes of media coverage Katzav and Peres received, we would find that not only did the loser receive much more - but the honor bestowed upon him by his interviewers was of the sort usually reserved for...Presidents.
In contrast, Katzav was treated (when they finally decided to cover him) like the last of the politicians.
And the only question remaining is: How long will it take until Katzav understands that in order to get a little exposure, "kavod", and some decent treatment, he'll have to dance to the tune of the leftist's fiddle - denouncing those who should be denounced, and praising those who should be praised.

But Katzav, a mild-mannered but self-described “perfectionist” who spent many years in the Knesset — and is now in the fifth year of his seven-year, one-time term in the largely ceremonial post — wanted to resurrect his concept in some way that would be acceptable.
In the opening session, after Katzav’s strong charge to us to reverse the course of the Jewish future of the diaspora, Israel’s leading demographer, Sergio Della Pergola of Hebrew University, was the first of six speakers asked to present brief reports on the condition of world Jewry.
And after hearing Katzav stress the need for urgent action, another leader wondered how the Israeli leader could be satisfied with the decision to create an annual forum to deliberate on these matters.

JERUSALEM, July 31 — Right-wing candidate Moshe Katzav was elected Israel’s President today in a dramatic vote in Parliament which inflicted a shock defeat on Nobel peace laureate Shimon Peres.

Whether Israeli President Moshe Katzav did or did not rape the secretaries as is alleged can not be resolved by our reading newspaper accounts.

There are much more details of Yechud, but would it not have been worthwhile for Moshe Katzav?
