		The new mayor, Yona Yahav, is a former Labor Knesset member, but in June he ran — and won — as an independent, backed by the upstart Shinui Party.
		Yahav's main rival, retired general Shmuel Arad of Likud, was expected to win, in keeping with the strong Likud victory in the national election.
		Yahav, however, captured 52% of the vote, and his list won six seats, compared with Shinui's three seats in the prior government, to become the biggest faction in the council.

		Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav said he does not object to the return of Palestinian refugees to the northern town in the framework of a peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

		Last week, Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav took a massive step in that direction by telling Israeli-Arab newspaper Kul al-Arab he sees no "reason why some Palestinian residents should not come back to Haifa" under terms of an Israel-Palestinian peace deal.
		Yahav's startling invitation could well spell the first shot in a battle to flood Israel with Arab immigrants, and eventually do away with the Jewish majority in this country.
		Mayor Yahav's message is particularly poignant as Israel moves towards "converging" on Jewish communities such as Tekoa, Shilo, Bet El and Nokdim, possibly as soon as the end of this year, and eventually on Maaleh Adumim, Efrat and the Western Wall.

		Eight days ago, before his city had seen eight killed and dozens wounded in waves of Katyusha rocket attacks, Yahav argued forcefully in an interview with The Boston Globe in favor of Israel's aerial assault on Lebanon.
		Yesterday, after his hair brushing, Yahav held ball bearings in his hand that investigators recovered from the rocket.
		In a rush, Yahav, his body guard, and press secretary were swept down into a subway station with hundreds of his townspeople who, until the warning, lingered around the post office taking in the view of busted concrete, shattered glass, and a tree which had half its leaves blown off by the rocket.
