#1 Probably the people at the Arab News are also ticked off with the prospect of 4 more years of Arik.

Frankly, I think it is time for a new generation to take over. Arik is in his late 70s, Shimon Peres is over 80. Netanyahu is in his 50s but he is IMHO, a jack-ass.

#2 actually IIUC the handwring is coming from the old line Israeli parties, Likud just as much as from Labour. Its particular in response to Mofaz leaving Likud and joining Kadima.
