Abstract
The last quarter of 2005 proved to be a watershed in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians and in the politics of the two conflicting societies. In September, Israel withdrew its last army battalions from the Gaza strip. Elections to the Palestinian Legislative Council, in which Hamas is set to take part, were rescheduled to January 2006 in the tense uncertainty surrounding the pullout. In Israel, the left-leaning Labor alignment held a leadership election that toppled Shimon Peres and elevated Amir Peretz. On 21 November, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dissolved parliament, set an early date of 28 March, 2006, for fresh elections and left the Likud party he founded to establish a new one.
