Ehud Barak wants to take the 'initiative' in making 'peace'
Defense Minister Ehud Barak worries that Israel's current government is not properly suited for 'peace making.' Barak wants to take the 'initiative.' Barak said that the government structure is not suitable for progress in the negotiations: "Until now I could not change the situation from within. I see this as the reason to stay in government."After all, things worked out so well the last time Barak took the initiative.
Barak said that Israel must consider how to move negotiations with the Palestinians forward.
"I have not significantly changed my position on how the final arrangement will look, there is not much difference between the proposal at Camp David and today," the defense minister said.
According to Barak, Israel has a lot to lose from continuing to be passive.

Yup.. meaning Israel makes all the concessions and the Palestinians do all the taking.
I have a good idea, after reading Haaretz's latest reports, on what Netanyahu's forthcoming "peace" initiative will look like.
But at the end of the day, the Palestinians won't make peace with Israel or recognize it as the Jewish State.
Why bother?
What could go wrong indeed
What is Barak doing in the government?
