...Olmert's key rivals, Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, are both former prime ministers whose track record in office failed to persuade voters to reelect them. Both men have so far refrained from moving in for the kill, lest they seem overzealous of taking advantage of what was a national calamity. Or perhaps they sense that Olmert has been mortally wounded, and will be unable to survive the Winograd judgment regardless of his own intentions.

...Palestinian leaders from compromising. In fact, a cursory assessment of the positions articulated thus far by Abbas and Olmert offers little evidence to suggest that these two men are any more likely to agree on where to draw the borders between Israel and Palestine than were Arafat and Ehud Barak. Instead, an unfortunate history may be repeating itself...
