the new alliance is to tap into the
reservoir of voters who identify with
center-left positions but have been
alienated from Labor under Barak.
At a Nov. 14 news conference
announcing the group’s establishment,
novelist Amos Oz declared that
Labor had “played out its historical
role” and that the new alliance would
take over as the main party of peace
and social democracy. Among the
founders are former Laborite and
Knesset speaker Avraham Burg and
ex- Barak aide Tzali Reshef.
The reasons for Labor’s decline go
beyond Barak’s “highly problematic”
leadership, Reshef said. He argues that
the party lost its credibility by playing
both sides of most key issues. “You
can’t be a party that says it wants
peace with the Palestinians and be the
big Jewish settlement builder,” Reshef
told JTA, saying that Barak expresses
solemn commitments to peace one
day, while authorizing new settlement
construction in the West Bank the
next. “This doubletalk doesn’t work
anymore. People want politicians
without masks who tell them the truth,
even when it is difficult to swallow.”
Critics of the new left-wing alliance
say it will succeed only in drawing
votes away from Labor, reallocating
seats within the Knesset’s center-left
bloc rather than enlarging the bloc
and stopping the Likud from coming
to power.
Reshef, however, believes the new
alliance and Labor will pick up seats
from small, one-issue parties and
Kadima. In Reshef’s view Kadima’s
hawks, among them Transportation
Minister Shaul Mofaz, will draw votes
away from Likud, critically altering
the balance of power in favor of the
center-left.
“What is important is that the
electorate as a whole moves leftward
and that we have enough seats to
prevent the right from forming a
government,” Reshef said. “At the end
of the day, that’s what the election is
all about.”
To what extent Ayalon’s departure
will hurt Labor is unclear. Ayalon
had hoped to lead the new left-wing
Meretz alliance but failed to reach an
agreement with Meretz leader Haim
Oron. In the end, Ayalon broke away
and formed a new alliance with Rabbi
Michael Melchior of the left-leaning
Orthodox Meimad party.
Announcing his move, Ayalon
declared that while Barak was “not
Labor’s problem,” he was “not the
solution” either. Ayalon said he
couldn’t even persuade his own
family members to vote Labor. The
fact that Ayalon failed to close a deal
with the new Meretz-led alliance does
not augur well for its showing in next
February’s election. It suggests there
could be damaging clashes over who
will lead and represent the alliance
in the Knesset. Labor leaders dismiss
the new alliance as a passing fad.
Meanwhile, as Labor struggles,
Likud is picking up steam. At a central
committee meeting Nov. 16, Netanyahu
showed off a gallery of old and new
stars who recently have joined or
rejoined the party, including Benny
Begin, the son of the first Likud prime
minister; former Cabinet minister Dan
Meridor; ex-police chief Asaf Hefetz,
who defected from Labor; and former
national security advisor Uzi Dayan.
In Likud, those who clashed
bitterly with Netanyahu when he was
prime minister in the late 1990s, like
Begin and Meridor, have made their
peace with him.
In Labor, Barak’s close associates
from his time as prime minister
are running against him. While
the general sense in the party is
of people deserting a sinking ship,
Likud has a sense of new and old
Knesset hopefuls jumping on the
winning bandwagon.
Barak has fewer than 90 days to
turn things round, and Netanyahu fewer
than 90 days to avoid making mistakes.
But, the first big election posters
going up around Israel feature neither
candidate. They show the confident-
looking Kadima candidate for prime
minister with the slogan “Tzipi Livni is
what is good for the country.”
The question for Livni, the current
foreign minister, is whether all this
realignment on the left will help or
hinder her. That will become clearer
in coming weeks. □
