Gilad Kariv

You have definitely Avigdor Lieberman on the one side, Yair Golan on the other side.

And even if you have someone like Gilad Kariv, a member of the Democrats who said the other day, "I think we need to stay in the Jordan Valley for decades," he's far from saying we need to annex the Jordan Valley, which is something that is probably definitely the consensus of the other parties.

So that, that broad diverse group will have some difficulty when it comes to issues of what do we do with the farms and the outposts, and what do we do with settlement expansion.
