Earth to Livni, Labor Calling

It seems that just about everyone wants Justice Minister Tzipi Livni to leave the coalition, following her meeting with Mahmoud Abbad in London.

Bayit Yehudi called her a satellite in space, which has lost all contact with earth (and the Israeli electorate).

Bayit Yehudi pointed out that Livni violated the cabinet decision, which called for a cessation of contacts with PA officials following their decision to reunify with Hamas. Bayit Yehudi of course recommended she leave the government.

Sources close to Netanyahu are saying that Netanyahu is quite angry with Livni, and distanced himself from her with his statement on Saturday night. But they didn't recommend she quit.

Though Labor party chief and opposition leader Yitzchak Herzog thinks Livni should definitely leave the coalition, because the talks with Hamas and Fatah aren't progressing.
