Kadima
As with all previous Israeli governments, Kadima faces the prospect of building a coalition with other parties. While the final shape of a new government probably will not be clear for weeks, a Kadima victory on its platform of unilateral territorial concessions would signal a major political realignment. Ehud Olmert, who was the acting Prime Minister and his centrist Kadima Party, the overwhelming favorite, say they are prepared to fix Israel's eastern border in the next four years in what would be a wrenching process involving the removal of tens of thousands of Jewish settlers from the West Bank.
