...real reason may be that most Israelis consider the results to be a foregone conclusion. The latest polls give acting prime minister Ehud Olmert's Kadima party enough votes to clobber its rivals (though not enough for a majority); one weekend survey, conducted by the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth, predicts that Kadima will win 36 Knesset seats, Labor 21, and Likud will end up a distant third with 14 seats...
...right-wing coalition would make things easier for Sharon in the Cabinet room, and in any case Israelis are moving swiftly toward the right as the violence of the intifadeh continues. In a poll last week in Israel's biggest newspaper, Yedioth Aharonoth, 53% of Israelis surveyed said they believed Arafat should be deposed, while 24% thought the Palestinian leader should be killed.

The situation is serious...
With Israelis already concerned about Republican threats to slash foreign aid, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin today downplayed fears that GOP firebrand Sen. Jesse Helms -- in 60 days chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee -- might go after the historic U.S.-Israel relationship. The source: Israel's biggest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, today cited a Helms staff trial balloon proposing that the U.S. forgive Israel's debt in exchange for a huge cut in its $1.2 billion annual economic aid package. Rabin -- on his way to the U.S. for a week -- told reporters that he'll meet with decision-makers...
...visit would actually take place: perhaps it was all a ruse to lull Israel into complacency. Among the skeptics was the army's chief of staff, Lieut. General Mordechai Gur, who defied a gag order from Defense Minister Ezer Weizman and gave an interview to the Hebrew daily Yedioth Aharonoth, in which he offered a "worst case" scenario. Gur suggested that Sadat was preparing to launch a surprise attack on Israeli-occupied Sinai, similar to the one that started the 1973 October War. The general warned all Israelis to be "cautious and alert" while the visit was in progress...
