Opposition leader wins only 52 percent of vote in leadership contest he was expected to breeze through; thanks opponent Ram Ben Barak for ‘a fair race’
An interesting political figure. I found him to be a genuine centrist early on with respect for the religious side of the country, unlike his father. And yet as time wore on and it became clear he'd never be prime minister, he developed Bibi Derangement Syndrome. During his brief stint as caretaker prime minister, it flared and since then he's been a hateful man incapable of saying anything positive without cursing Bibi and the politcial right at the same time. And this is costing him support.
