I like Ehud Barak. I think he is courageous since he is swimming against his government's tide. This is not new, but that does not make it irrelevant.
Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak speaks alongside US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the State Department in Washington, DC in February 2010. Barak has said that Israel must tackle the "core issues" of its conflict with the Palestinians in order to close a rift with top ally the United States.
