From Ynet news 17/9/08, by Ali Waked:
Palestinian authority officials breathe a sign of relief, say they feared Mofaz victory
Palestinian Authority officials said Wednesday night they were pleased with Tzipi Livni's apparent victory in the Kadima primaries and were looking forward to continuing peace talks with her.... Palestinian sources were concerned that a Mofaz victory would halt the diplomatic process, while a Livni victory was perceived as recipe for continued talks.
A senior PA official told Ynet: "... it's no secret that working with Livni will be much easier...."
The source added that a Mofaz victory would prompt him to move closer to Shas and rightist parties at the expense of talks with the Palestinians.
"Livni realizes that the solution to the current situation is a quick diplomatic agreement with us," he said. "We hope that she'd be able to form a government very quickly."...
