Benjamin
Netanyahu announced today that he would challenge Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon for leadership of the Likud Party and in turn unseat him
as premier.
This is a major turn of events and the elections could be as soon as late September. If Netanyahu defeats Sharon this could turn the disengagement plan and the peace process upside down.
Mr. Netanyahu has no intention of giving away anymore land and will fight to the death to keep all of Israel intact. This maybe the spark that will ignite the Middle East war of Ezekiel 38 & 39. Of course, Ariel Sharon could defeat Benjamin Netanyahu and everything would go on as planned.
Unfortunately, I don't see Ariel Sharon losing, but anything could happen. This could definitely turn into some very high stakes drama in the months ahead.
Keep an eye on this development.
