Attack on the Iranian Nuclear Facilities – Yes or
No!
The Truth of the Matter is that right Now No One Knows!
The Government now in place is in a state of some Confusion!
Will They scrape together a Weak Coalition led by Lady Tzipi Livni
Or will they hold new elections and perhaps have the Bull Netanyahu?

The question as to whether or not Israel will attack the Iranian nuclear facilities is currently up in the air in the minds of Israeli leaders. It will not be clarified until a new government is formed by Livni or general elections are held. If Levni is head of the new Government, the chances of an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities are extremely unlikely.
But if Netanyahu becomes the next Prime Minister, after a few months in the office, an attack will become quite likely.

Right-wing parties favor early elections

President Shimon Peres met on Monday morning with delegates of Israel Beiteinu and the National Union \ National Religious Party (NU/NRP) to discuss the future of the government.
Robert Ilatov of Israel Beiteinu said that he does not see anyone in the current coalition that would be capable of forming a stable government.
“It is important to hold general elections within the next 3 months and to get a new mandate from the people”, said Ilatov.
Israel Beiteinu did not propose a candidate to the premiership and emphasized that it does not believe that any coalition formed from the existing transitional government will last.
NU/ NRP also believed in going to direct elections.
Its delegation told Peres that electing a prime minister in the current session is not the way to go.
They added that they believed that national elections could be conducted in a short period of time and that the people should have their say.
They did not propose a new candidate.
Meretz-Yahad Chairman Haim Oron recommended Livni to the premiership saying, “We think that the current foreign minister is the most suitable person to lead the government, not because we want to join but because she is the only candidate.”
The sentiment was echoed by Meretz MK Zehava Gal-On who said that “The fact that we are recommending Tzipi Livni does not mean that we will join the government. It is still too early. We’ll have to discuss it.”
Haim Oron added that the first priority of the government should be to continue negotiations with the Palestinians and
with Syria. “This is not the only priority but it is the first”, said Oron.
The GIL Pensioners’ party also recommended that Livni form the next government, which they said they would join if it persisted according to the same formula as the previous government. GIL Chairman MK Itzhak Galanti, warned, however, that his party would not join a coalition that included that Justice for the Elderly breakaway party, headed by for GIL MK Moshe Sharoni.
On Sunday night, in addition to meeting the Kadima faction, Peres also met with Labor, Likud and Shas representatives.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who handed in his letter of resignation to Peres Sunday night, reportedly decided to expedite his resignation at Livni’s request. He will remain prime minister of a caretaker government until Livni can form a new coalition within 42 days or until a new government is formed after a general election.
Livni’s chances of forming a government improved significantly after she agreed with Barak that it was in the interest of both of them and the country that a coalition be formed as soon as possible. Tension between the two had risen over the weekend when Barak decided to meet with opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu before meeting with her.
Livni hopes to form a government with the 64 MKs in the current coalition plus Meretz, Justice for the Pensioners and the United Torah Judaism faction, with whom she is set to meet on Monday afternoon. Adding the 14 MKs from those factions would give her insurance in case Labor or Shas decided to bolt the coalition.
Shas Chairman Eli Yishai told reporters on Sunday that he was not afraid of elections but that he would not push for them either. Likud leaders Binyamin Netanyahu, Silvan Shalom and Gideon Sa’ar met with Shas mentor Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and told him that only immediate elections could save Jerusalem from being divided.
In a meeting with Peres, Yishai decided not to recommend that Livni form a government, because he had not received commitments from her on diplomatic and socioeconomic issues, but he also said Shas opposed elections.
