Most Israelis, and I include myself in this point, believe that only right-wing governments led by the Likud have the capability of making far-reaching concessions in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Menahem Begin is cited as the model. But as Akiva Eldar points out this no longer seems to be the case.
“…the idea that ‘only the Likud can’ is dead. Likud members and their leaders have refuted the “peace camp’s” assumption that only the right can evacuate settlements and bring peace.”
