Shaul Mofaz promises: "Tomorrow - message that will shock the country"

Information center of 'Kadima' sent a message about a special press conference, which party chairman Shaul Mofaz will hold tomorrow (Thursday) at the Kadima house in Petach Tikva, at 5 pm.

But in addition to the message, the words: "his announcement will shake the country" were added.

The unusual message managed to produce a wave of speculation. What more could shock the country, when 'Kadima' is in such a miserable state and barely rises above the threshold?

Apparently, according to party sources, that behind the scenes intense talks are being held, and according to information - that he has no official confirmation - Mofaz intends to do what Eli Yishai did: giving the role of chairman over.

According to the same information, Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni will return to Kadima, creating a block of left-center, like Likud-Beiteinu. The two met in recent days several times, today they also sat for over an hour - so far they have not officially announced a decision one way or another.

The meeting tonight was held at Olmert's office in Tel - Aviv. At the end the two took out an official notice that "Given the current situation in Israel which has deteriorated in all areas, it is necessary to replace the government."

Officially, they have not yet announced their decision, and it is possible that they are trying to create an effect of surprise - such as that created by Benjamin Netanyahu and Avigdor Lieberman last week.

Such a block, if indeed it will be formed - though the need for painful ego concessions by all involved, may reap a large number of seats - one that will change again the entire political spectrum.

To such a block they will try to attach the Independence Party of Ehud Barak, even though he has not yet given his consent.

Livni is still undecided about their final conclusion.

Another option: Contacts are conducted even now with Minister Moshe Kahlon (former minister), when surveys conducted by a Consumer Association have predicted no fewer than 20 seats if he will head a new social party. The target: to attach him too to the new party, the party of Livni and Olmert, and create an impressive block which can easily cope with the challenge posed by the block on the right.

Persistent rumors, which were not officially approved by him, are talking about Kahlon's retirement occurred after Netanyahu could not guarantee him the finance portfolio in the next government. After serving as Minister of bi - offices (Communication and Welfare) any portfolio will be considered for him as a fall, so he preferred to retire. After he retired, and the area burned and Netanyahu understood that the Likud was harmed, he agreed to ensure Kahlon with the finance portfolio in return for his aid and compliance with the Likud in the elections.

Kahlon, in turn, took up the challenge and began to help with all his heart Likud's election campaign. At the event which took place on Monday at the Exhibition Grounds it was he who guided and inspired the activists and the area. But at the same time he got the survey results, which surprised him with a large number of mandates given to him while he disrupts his previous decision to be loyal to the party. With twenty seats, he is not obligated to anyone.

In such a situation he may be positively accede to the proposal of Kadima Party (the triple) and join it

This is the place to praise Mofaz that had the sense to forego his personal dignity for the new move, even if he did so after understanding the lack of choice - if he wants to keep Kadima as party of importance. True enough, the leadership will be integrated, such as the new Shas trio, but clearly his place as exclusive chairman will be taken from him.
