Israel election may define 2013

By Julie Bishop - posted Thursday, 3 January 2013

Mr Abbas is well aware that it would result in an uprising by militant elements within the Palestinians.

Meanwhile a Hamas spokesperson has criticised Abbas for not offering to hand over the leadership to Hamas which currently has control of Gaza.

It is hard to imagine any scenario where Israel would consent to Hamas controlling the West Bank.

With the Muslim Brotherhood slowly but surely establishing its influence over Egypt, the next Prime Minister of Israel will be faced with a number of regional challenges that threaten national and regional security.

There are few easy choices awaiting the next Prime Minister of Israel and the whole world will be watching.
