Read this story in English
اعلن وزير الدفاع الاسرائيلي ايهود باراك الاثنين اعتزاله الحياة السياسية بشكل مفاجىء وعدم المشاركة في الانتخابات التشريعية الاسرائيلية المقرر عقدها في 22 كانون الثاني المقبل.
وقال باراك في مؤتمر صحافي في تل ابيب "قررت الاستقالة من الحياة السياسية وعدم المشاركة في الانتخابات المقبلة" مؤكدا رغبته في "التركيز على اسرته".
واضاف الرجل الثاني في الحكومة الاسرائيلية "سانهي مهامي كوزير للدفاع مع تشكيل الحكومة القادمة خلال ثلاثة اشهر".
ويأتي هذا الاعلان بعد خمسة ايام من انتهاء العملية العسكرية الاسرائيلية "عمود السحاب" ضد قطاع غزة التي وصفها باراك بالايجابية "للحظة".
ويعد باراك (70 عاما) واحدا من افضل الخبراء العسكريين في الدولة العبرية حيث دخل الحياة السياسية في منتصف التسعينات بعد تركه الجيش الاسرائيلي.
وقد تولى قيادة قوات النخبة في الجيش الاسرائيلي قبل ان يعين رئيسا للاركان، وتراس الحكومة بين 1999 و2001.

Why is it that my television on BBC, ITV and Sky did not show any missiles falling on Tel Aviv, but rather being shot down by Iron Dome Missiles.
Did your al-Manar and Al-Kuds TV stations actually show the (ahem) excessive damage to Tel Aviv? Or did they do as the Gazans did to BBC showing them photos claiming damage and casualties in Gaza, when in effect it was proved they were from Syria.

"if you're not aware that all of tel aviv and the southern half of occupied palestine was stuck in shelters during the offensive on gaza, that ben gourion airport was closed,"
What a joke.
Tel Avivians and all the people who live south of it were never in the shelters for more than the require 10 minutes after hearing the warning (and that happened only 5 times in Tel Aviv, 2 times in Jerusalem)
Ben Gurion Airport was not closed for a single minute.
For this you'd better ask all the hundreds of foreign journalists who flew in to cover the event.
BTW could you for my eductation please tell me just what is "the southern half of occupied Palestine"?

Why do our Lebanese politicians stay in politics till death whereas in developed countries, they retire from politics? Is it only because they can steal our money, and our children's future and want to make sure they can keep doing so without being worried? Of course, our good politicians get assassinated before they can consider retiring... only the bad ones remain.

Mr FlameThrower: I was one of his staunchest supports until I overheard an incoming phone conversation from Bashar Assad during a gathering in Zahle, He was getting instructions and the general was complying without questioning. That afternoon, I left early I walked away and never looked back.

FlameThrower - your very comment here just shows what a joke you are.
Unlike you I for one, where politics is concerned, do not support a single person. However it does show how democracy works when leading figues can actually resign and not be assassinated.
Don't worry, just because Ehud Barak has resigned it will not get us (or me at least) to support your idol that terrorist Nasrallah.

As Avigdor Lieberman has already stated that he wants to continue as Foreign Minister, I don't know where you get your insight from.
If you actually look through lists of former Defence Ministers of Israel, you'll find that most of them come from the former senior ranks of the army. This way at least there is one minister in the government who knows what he is actually talking about.
