Hmm... odd way of progressing

The political leader of Palestinian militant group Hamas has said the group is willing to take a serious step towards peace if Israel does the same. Khaled Meshaal told the BBC that Hamas would not renounce violence, saying resisting an occupation was legal.



But I suppose they might just be getting tired on both sides after all this time:
But he said a long-term truce would be possible if Israel accepted conditions including a return to its 1967 borders....However, Ehud Olmert said Israel would be prepared to give up parts of the West Bank where most Palestinians were living.



What does this mean for the upcoming Israeli elections? Keeping with Kadima's more centerist line, or swing towards Likud?

Likud can't win because Bibi isn't popular. He is seen as a flip flopper much like John Kerry was in 2004. Likud can win if they replace Bibi with someone who is seen as consistent instead of constantly changing positions based on opinion polls.
