Israel stemmer den 17. februar
Israelerne skal til valgurnerne -formodentlig- tirsdag den 17. februar 2009. Det står fast efter en weekend, hvor forhandlingerne om en ny regering mellem Kadima og Labor på den ene side, og det religiøse parti, Shas, på den anden side, brød sammen.
Kadimas nye leder, udenrigsminister Tzipi Livni, var rasende over det, som hun beskrev som Shas's "afpresning", da hun afbrød forhandlingerne om regeringsdannelse. Shas havde bl.a. forlangt en langt større børneydelse samt en række garantier om stramninger i lovgivningen med hensyn til overholdelse af jødiske helligdage og ikke mindst shabbat. Yderligere forlangte Shas, at Jerusalems status som Israels udelelige hovedstad ikke måtte være til forhandling i forhold til palæstinenserne.

Sådan stemmer israelerne
Når israelerne går til valgurnerne for at stemme til Knesset, er det med én landsdækkende stemmeseddel - som altså også ser ens ud over hele Israel.
Hvert parti sammensætter en prioriteret partiliste, sådan at man allerede på valgaftenen præcis vil vide, hvem der er blevet valgt. Alle israelske statsborgere over 18 kan stemme. Ligeledes kan israelske statsborgere, bosiddende uden for landets grænser, stemme på ambassaderne.
Knesset har 120 medlemmer – de såkaldte ”haverim” (venner). Spærregrænsen er som i Danmark 2 procent. Opstillingsberettigede er alle israelske statsborgere over 21 år, som ikke har haft en dom på over fem års fængsel – med mindre der er gået yderligere fem år fra deres løsladelse. Følgende kan dog ikke kandidere: Præsidenten, Israels to overrabbinere, civile og religiøse dommere samt forsvarschefen.
Parlamentsvalg afholdes i følge forfatningen mindst hvert 4 år, dog kan Knesset ved almindeligt flertal beslutte at opløse sig selv og udskrive nyvalg. Yderligere kan statsministeren anbefale præsidenten at udskrive nyvalg.
I dette tilfælde er udskrivelsen sket efter at statsminister Ehud Olmert er gået af, mens hans efterfølger som formand for Kadima-partiet, Tzipi Livni, ikke har haft held med at danne en regering inden for den krævede tid. Det er dermed hende, som har bedt præsident Shimon Peres om at udskrive valg til Knesset.

Tzipi Livni ligner Israels næste statsminister
Ariel Sharons parti, Kadimas nye chef hedder Tzipi Livni Det blev et faktum, da hun i et overraskende tæt opløb besejrede tidligere forsvarsminister, Shaul Mofaz.
Sølle 431 stemmer adskilte de to formandskandidater efter at 74.000 medlemmer af Kadima havde stemt - Livni fik 43,1 procent af stemmerne, mens Mofax opnåede 42,0 procent.
I sin sejrstale meddelte Tzipi Livni, som i dag er udenrigsminister i Olmerts regering, at hun hurtigst muligt vil forsøge at danne en ny regering. Hun kan dermed blive den anden kvinde på statsministerposten i Israel. Den første hed Golda Meir.
Den nye formand har nu 40 dage til at danne sin nye regering - og altså samle et flertal i Knesset. Lykkes det ikke på den tid, skal der i følge forfatningen udskrives nyvalg, og hér kan resultatet meget vel vise, at det ikke bliver Kadima, men Likud, der sætter sig på statsministerposten.
Likuds leder, den tidligere statsminister Benjamin Netanyahu fører nemlig i opinionsmålingerne i forhold til Tzipi Livni. Et eventuelt parlamentsvalg vil blive en afstemning, om på hvilken måde, israelerne skal fortsætte tilnærmelsen til de palæstinensiske arabere. Og her mener et flertal af israelere i dag, at Benjamin Netanyahu er den bedste mand til opgaven.

Tzipi Livni på vej til tops
Israels i forvejen mest magtfulde kvinde, Tzipi Livni, på vej til at blive landets premierminister. Israels udenrigsminister, Tzipi Livni, der var onsdagens topkandidat til at erstatte Ehud Olmert som leder af Kadima-partiet og premierminister for den jødiske stat, er sit lands mest magtfulde kvinde.
Den tidligere spion i den israelske efterretningstjeneste Mossad har i en årrække været en opstigende stjerne på Israels politiske scene, men blev først en kandidat til posten som premierminister i juli, kort inden at Olmert meddelte, at han ville træde tilbage for at tage kampen op mod korruptionsanklager.
Meningsmålingerne sagde, at den 50-årige Livni ville vinde onsdagens kampvalg i Kadima-partiet om, hvem der skal efterfølge den stedse mere upopulære Olmert.
Da Livni blev valgt til parlamentet i Jerusalem i 1999, var det med en militær baggrund. Hun havde været løjtnant i hæren, og, som hun erkendte tidligere i år, var ansat som spion i Mossad i fire år.
Livni har læst jura på Bar-Ilan Universitetet. Første gang, hun blev minister, var i 2001 under Ariel Sharon. Da fik hun posten som minister for regionalt samarbejde og landbrug.
Senere blev hun også blandt andet justitsminister og blev i forbindelse med en stor regeringskrise tillige udenrigsminister. Efter valget i 2006 blev hendes fremtrædende position i Kadima cementeret, da hun blev vicepremierminister og udenrigsminister.
Det indflydelsesrige tidsskrift Forbes magazine gav hende tidligere i år en plads nummer 52 på dets liste over verdens 100 mest magtfulde kvinder. Med en valgsejr onsdag er Livni helt klart på vej videre op ad den liste.
Bliver Livni formand for Kadima, bliver hun også Israels næste premierminister - landets anden kvindelige af slagsen. Israels første kvindelige premierminister var Golda Meir, der bestred embedet fra 1969 til 1974.
Tzipi Livni, der blev født i Tel Aviv 8. juli 1958, er gift og har to børn./ritzau/

Israelske soldater har brugt weekenden til at yde støtte til Fatah-folk, som er flygtet fra Gaza. Samtidig har israelske hospitaler haft travlt med at hjælpe de mange sårede palæstinensere, som er blevet bragt ind efter kampene med Hamas.
I løbet af dagen vil man så begynde at sende de reddede over til de arabiske områder i Samaria - idet en tilbagevenden til Gaza for disse mennesker ikke skønnes sikkerhedsmæssigt forsvarligt.
11 arabere er blevet dræbt og knapt 100 såret efter at Hamas og Fatah i Gaza lørdag udkæmpede nogle af de blodigste kampe, siden Hamas overtog ledelsen af Gaza. 200 Fatah-folk søgte i den forbindelse - og fik - hjælp i Israel.

Ehud Olmert har overraskende meddelt, at han trækker sig som leder af Kadima-partiet, så snart en ny leder kan findes ved et internt partivalg den 17. september - og samtidig vil han træde tilbage som Israels statsminister.
Meddelelsen kommer ovenpå en lang periode med anklager om korruption - men samtidig midt i fredsforhandlinger med Syrien og de palæstinensiske arabere, og derfor vil Olmerts beslutning nødvendigvis skabe store problemer og udsættelse af fredsforhandlingerne.
Såfremt det ikke lykkes for Kadimas nye leder, som efter al sandsynlighed hedder Tzippi Livni - og er udenrigsminister i Olmerts regering - at sikre sig et flertal i Knesset, vil der blive udskrevet valg. Og sker det, vil det blive et meget tæt løb mellem Kadima og Likud, hvis leder, tidligere statsminister Benyamin Nethanyahu, er favorit til at vinde et evt. valg.

Israel i sorg og vrede efter begravelser
Tusinder af israelere deltog i dag i begravelserne af to soldater, der blev dræbt i krigen mod den libanesiske Hizbollah-milits, og hvis jordiske rester blev udleveret til hjemlandet som led i en aftale om fangeudveksling.

Israel sørgede, mens Hizbollah festede
Fem levende hizbollah-folk er blevet sendt tilbage til Libanon fra israelske fængsler. Til gengæld har Hizbollah udleveret ligene af to israelere, som blev afleveret i sorte kister.
Overalt i Israel var der sorg - mens Hizbollah festede i gaderne i Beirut.
"Nederlagenes tid er forbi, og sejrenes tid er kommet, sagde Hizbollahs fører, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, vores folk har i dag sendt et stort og klart budskab om at vi ikke kan besejres". Kort tid efter blev føreren kørt bort af sine sikkerhedsvagter.
I Israel var der sorg, da man fik de jordiske rester af to israelske soldater tilbage. De to blev i 2006 kidnappet af Hizbollah, hvilket blev starten på Libanon-felttoget.
Israels statsminister, Ehud Olmert sagde: "Israel har en moralsk forpligtelse til at bringe sine sønner hjem - selv når de er døde. Vi måtte betale en høj pris for at få dem hjem."
Blandt de løsladte var Samir Kantar, som er dømt for at have myrdet en familiefar, mens faderens fireårige datter så på. Derefter myrdede Kantar også pigen.
Den shiamuslimske leder kyssede og omfavnede hver af de fem, frigivne fanger, og Kantar svor under festlighederne onsdag aften, at han ville fortsætte sin kamp mod den jødiske stat.
I Israel var der kun hovedrysten tilovers for festen i Beirut: "Jeg har ondt af de mennesker, som i dag fester over frigivelsen af sådan et dyr, som knuste kraniet på en fireårig pige, var Ehud Olmerts kommentar, inden han deltog i en ceremoni for de to dræbte soldater.
