Barak seeks to regain Labor leadership
ARON HELLER
Associated Press
JERUSALEM - Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak announced on Sunday his much-anticipated return to politics, saying he will seek the leadership of the Labor Party in the first step toward a possible bid for the country's highest office.
Political commentator Hanan Crystal said last summer's war in Lebanon - and the public sentiment that Israel's military must regain its might - has revived Barak's political career.
"We need a defense minister, and everyone knows he is more suitable than anyone else," Crystal said. "He is an authority. There will be a feeling that 'the boss is back.'"
