Barak Endorse Peres

Didn't see this coming. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has endorsed former Prime Minister Shimon Peres for the Labor party leadership. Peres is facing a number of challengers in his bid to remain head of the party. Those challengers had included Barak. But Barak is urging all challengers to unite behind Peres in an effort to present a united front in the coming elections, which at this point seem likely to occur next spring.

Of course the announcement today that former Prime Minister Netanyahu is going to challenge Prime Minister Sharon for the leadership of the Likud Party is about as surprising as the sun rising in the East.
