   Right-wingers were seething on Friday afternoon after a report that a recent flurry of secret messages from Israel to Syria signaled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's willingness to give up the Golan Heights in return for a peace agreement.
   ...
   Likud faction chairman Gideon Sa'ar called on Israel Beiteinu and Shas to withdraw for the coalition.
   
   "The prime minister has no legitimacy to withdraw for the Golan," Sa'ar went on to say, adding that Olmert's continued leadership endangered Israel's security, Israel Radio reported.
   
   According to the report in Yediot, quoting officials close to Olmert, the prime minister sent messages with German and Turkish diplomats to Syrian President Bashar Assad indicating that Israel was willing to hold direct peace negotiations and give up the Golan.
   
   According to Yediot, Olmert repeatedly said he would be prepared to negotiate with Syria only if Assad's regime cut ties with Iran and Hizbullah and ceased its support for terror.
   ...
   Israel Radio quoted a senior political official as saying that the details of negotiations with the Syrians must not be talked about but that Israel was willing to pay the agreed price for peace.
   
   A Syrian diplomat in London denied the Yediot report, saying that Damascus had not received any invitation from Israel to open negotiations, Israel Radio reported.
   
   Another senior Syrian diplomat also denied that Damascus had received an invitation from Washington or from any other officials to renew negotiations.
   
   In an interview the diplomat gave to a Syrian newspaper, he also said that Olmert's "defeated and weak government is not a partner for negotiations."
   ...
   Shas Chairman Eli Yishai said that if Syria really wanted peace Assad should come to Israel.

   Such uncertainty, of course, is common in Israel, where the actual elections serve only as a preliminary to the main event of cobbling together a governing coalition.
   
   The leading party, Kadima, won only 29 seats, and thus will be a minority within the coalition that it heads. Once a coalition is formed, its long term stability remains very much in question.
   
   As if the external threats and internal problems facing Israel were not enough, the new prime minister will have to deal with a fractious coalition and repeated threats by this or that party to leave the coalition.
   ...
   Vilnai's remark is an indication of the tremendous internal rifts in both of Israel's former leading parties - Likud and Labor - in the wake of their disappointing performance.
   ...
   The combined Right of NU/NRP, Likud, and Israel Beiteinu won barely a quarter of the seats in the new Knesset. And neither Likud nor Israel Beiteinu ruled out further territorial concessions.
   ...
   Dichter argues that even if West Bank settlements were evacuated the Israeli army would have to remain behind to prevent a hostile government bringing its missiles in easy range of Israel's populous and vulnerable central region. Significantly, after first announcing that no party would be admitted to the coalition that did not agree to support his "convergence" plan, Olmert has now left any mention of "convergence" out of the coalition guidelines.
