#1 It's been suggested that Sharon and Peres might have reached an odd entente, both irritated with the extreme ends of their own political parties, and annoyed with the power politics played by tiny 3rd parties. This proposal is that, if the two of them broke off the middle and abandoned both the far left and the far right, the would have a huge majority of the center in a new, centrist party. No more extremists demanding and getting largesse from the government, and a stable coalition that would last a decade or two before a *reasonable* centrist alternative arose to compete with it.

#2 The thing that I read about, and the thing I am concerned about is the possibility of Hizb'Allah taking over the power vacuum in Gaza and becoming a threat to Israel's western border. It seems to me that the sooner Syria is out of the terror base business, the less influence the MMs of Iran have in either Lebanon or in this case, Gaza.
