972mag.com political writer Larry Derfner discusses the upcoming Israeli elections which will be held on March 17 following the collapse of the ruling coalition of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Derfner argues that Netanyahu’s Likud colleague Moshe Kahlon who is a slightly conservative centrist, could help redirect Israel from Netanyahu’s hardline rejectionist anti-peace policies.
Derfner discusses how Kahlon still may not be the person who can revive the peace process, but he could be more amiable to viewing two-states and a Palestinian State.
