...have the ability to influence the Israeli election through the use of violence--and through their own elections, scheduled for Jan. 25, which may increase the power of the radical Islamist group Hamas. Likud, led by the unloved but undeterred Benjamin Netanyahu, 56, has been the beneficiary of Palestinian mayhem in the past. In 1996, for example, Netanyahu overtook Shimon Peres in the race for Prime Minister after a series of terrorist acts by Hamas. "Bibi rises and falls with Hamas," Makovsky said...
