It appears that Tuesday night's big winner of the Kadima party primary vote, like the Royal house of Bourbon, has not forgotten anything and has not learned anything from his role in dismantling Gush Katif. Speaking at the NY Israel Policy Forum, former Defense Minister and former IDF Chief of Staff Shaul Mofaz laid down his plan for a permanent Palestinian State. If you or your loved ones reside in Judea and Samaria – be afraid, be very afraid.

Out of 95 thousand registered Kadima party members, only 40% voted by 10 p.m., when the polls closed. It was rumored that left-leaning Haim Ramon was planning to resign as Chair of the Kadima Council. Along with the Mofaz win, this may suggest that the party is moving to the right. It may also mean that Kadima could not be taken for granted as partnering with the left on issues such as religious vs. secular tensions.

Since Kadima's fracturing is inevitable, the leadership primary becomes significance in that it will determine which leader will secure the votes of those Kadima MKs whose allegiance is to the party, and not its leader.

The Israeli election was on the surface a tie between Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, and Kadima, led by Tzipi Livni (who replaced Ehud Olmert as party chief).
