20:23 Dec 04, '05 / 3 Kislev 5766
(IsraelNN.com) MK Uzi Landau, according to Channel 10, is bowing out of the race for Likud chairman, defering to former prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Landau has, in the past, criticized Netanyahu for remaining in the government through the entire process leading up to the expulsion of Gaza and northern Samaria's Jews.Netanyahu left the government days before the Disengagement's implementation, saying he wanted the history books to record his opposition. He refrained from attempting to thwart the plan's implementation, however.Landau's backing out of the race leaves Moshe Feiglin as the only candidate that did not have a part in the expulsion of Gaza's Jews. Feiglin also opposes a Palestinian state, in accordance with the Likud Party's platform.
