Israel’s response to Hamas’s victory will obviously be complicated by its own elections on March 28, and by a government headed by an interim prime minister, Ehud Olmert, owing to Sharon’s incapacitation just weeks after leaving Likud and founding a new, centrist party, Kadima (Forward).
以色列自己也将会在3月28日举行选举。沙龙在脱离利库德党、组建新的中间路线政党-前进党几周后一病不起，临时总理奥尔穆特领导政府。这些都使得以色列对哈马斯获胜的反应明显地复杂化了。
