In my travels to Israel for Wikinews, I met a few connected people, and even before the election my sources were telling me that the new Israeli prime minister would be Benjamin Netanyahu, not Tzipi Livni. I told Florian Michael just that. Livni pulled out a couple of votes ahead Netanyahu in the recent election, but it is up to Shimon Peres to now choose the leader of the new government. My sources are sticking to their guns – it’s going to be Netanyahu.
