Description - From Rabin to Netanyahu by Efraim Karsh
The May 1996 election of Benjamin Netanyahu, the 46-year-old leader of the right-wing Likud Party, as Israel's youngest ever prime minister provides further proof of the volatility of Israeli politics. Only a few months earlier Netanyahu's political career seemed all but finished. The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin at the hands of a Jewish zealot sent an unprecedented tremor throughout the nation, raising a tidal wave of sympathy with the slain prime minister and his quest for peace - and revulsion with the perceived culprits of his killing, not least Netanyahyu who had spearheaded a fierce campaign against the Labour-led peace process. Yet Netanyahu managed to win the elections by a hair-breadth margin. What are the sources of Netanyahu's victory and what are its domestic and external implications? Does it spell the demise of the nascent peace process between Israel and the Palestinians? Or will Netanyahu be the leader to rally the Israeli public behind the territorial concessions attending the attainment of comprehensive peace? A distinguished group of specialists from Israel, Great Britain and the United States address these questions.
