Israel's Labor head poised to be Netanyahu gadfly

JERUSALEM (AP) — Just seven years after quitting her job as a high-profile media commentator, the leader of Israel’s Labor Party appears to be on track to become head of the country’s second-largest parliamentary faction and the leading voice against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

And if Netanyahu’s coalition somehow falls short of a majority in next week’s election, Shelly Yachimovich would likely wind up with a far more important job: prime minister of Israel.
