Barak elected Labor leader in Israel to challenge Netanyahu
Israel's Labor Party chose former military chief Ehud Barak as opposition leader, signaling a shift after five decades under Shimon Peres. Barak, who joined the party two years ago, could push for an early vote as Netanyahu's coalition faces instability ahead of the 2000 election. The talks in Belfast, led by George Mitchell, seek peace amid ongoing violence and political strains in Northern Ireland.
