Livni is a woman with an ego and its been bruised one to many times, first with Peres appointing Bibi to be PM rather than her even though she got 1 Knesset seat more than him. Then to add insult to injury Mofaz took the party won the party leadership and by a large majority.

The knesset is incredibly productive. They churn out more losers than lotteries.

It took here a long time before she really understand,,,, that she is so useless.

Now she is one of Time's least influential people.

Tzippi ,do not let the door hit you on your way out.Long overdue but welcome news.

popping in celebration. "One down Mofaz to go"

By standing down / resigning ,Mrs. Livni has finally done a good thing for Israel.I wish her a healthy and happy retirememnt far from the political arena , to which she is clearly unsuitable.

best news in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yo ,dumb Tzipi , she got too lippy to our elected leader she is just a bottom feeder she aint no muse 'cause she is of little use she was cut down to size she just knows to criticize so don't cry 'a sweet goodbye and don't shout don't let da door hit you on da way out.

focus was on Israel, not on personal setbacks that could be overcome.

GREAT!!!!! Should have done this a long time ago. She did nothing and is good for nothing.

Golda can get lost too .Her poor leadership and hesitation led to the deaths of thousands of israelis in the 1973 war.

We are probably not done with her useless grandstanding. She long ago took on positions of authority that exceeded her very limited competence. She may not have sold out the country to the Hareidim, but every one got a piece of her.

She caused us so many problems. Remember the proximity talks with the Pals? OMG, we need someone with guts, like Lieberman.

...she ended as a total looser.

Kadima it was lost the day that Ariel Sharon went into a coma and the first step that Mofaz, the man in the pockets of the Harbors Union, will do after the upcoming election is rejoin Likud with the losers that supported him. Now Labor will be the second biggest party and Leftist Bolshevism with rise up and that's all we need!

Dear Tzipi: Don't go away angry, just go away!

... sell us down the river to our enemies Given the chance, you would have done.

actually has accomplished nothing in all her years in the gov't ....except for sounding like an idiotic fool

To all the Morons posting, especially #19, the facts are , she stuck by principle and did not do a deal with the devil. She led her party to to the most seats and unlike every Govt before and after, did not sell out to the Haredim merely to take power

She had no idea how the political system works. It wonderful to say, "I won't play games", but that is what politics is all about.

Which is it? We want Lieberman, or he should go to jail? I voted for him twice. Why? Guttman, who served in the National Fraud Unit for 21 years said the image of Lieberman portrayed in the press was very different from the man he had encountered in person. "The man is, in my opinion, the fastest-thinking suspect politician the police have had to face. He will come prepared". "Lieberman does not hide behind his right to remain silent. He won't confess, either. He will give full answers and send police abroad looking for evidence," Guttman said. "He does not stutter, and he is not like Olmert, saying he doesn't remember this or that. He has all the facts in his head, and he does not refer to documents when answering questions". --- Who will you vote for?

It is a pity she leaves, because such a pretty woman should have good impressions for Israel abroad. Antisemites were happiest during Golda Meir's premiership.
