Netanyahu opens bare knuckles bid as rivals attack peace plan
Israel’s prime minister launched a hard line reelection campaign deriding rivals while asserting public support for tough Palestinian policy. Parliament’s vote for early elections shocked the Mideast peace process, provoking Palestinian anger and calls to uphold the Wye River accord. Barak leads perceived challengers with support from Labor if Netanyahu sticks to the agreement. Others eye bids amid defections as the coalition unravels and the Wye pact's land for security terms trigger dueling pressures.
