Barak Resigns Amid Coalition Collapse and Election Plans
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak announced on November 28 that he will resign before completing his four year term and call new parliamentary and presidential elections in the spring. His governing coalition has fallen apart as opponents seek to force his exit. Barak, once praised as a peace seeker with Clinton aid, failed to secure lasting deals with Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinians. He faces a hostile political landscape as voters prepare for spring elections.
