This is supremely interesting, mho. Have any of you ever really heard of this man before?
Most Americans have never heard of Shaul Mofaz. But those interested in the future of the Middle East ought to take note. Mofaz is currently Israel's Deputy Prime Minister. Tuesday, he announced his candidacy to lead the Kadima Party, the party of current Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Mofaz now squares off against Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni in Kadima's September 17th primaries. He is behind in the internal Kadima polls, but he has been gaining. Should he win next month, he will have the chance to put together a national unity government and become Israel's next premier, without having to face voters in a new round of national elections. There are five things you should know about Mofaz. First, he was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1948 before his family eventually fled to the new State of Israel when he was nine years old.
