Israel back to a woman's hands?

Ehud Olmert has just announced his resignation. Well, kind of. He said he will resign as soon as his party, Kadima, elects a new president, and then he will pass the baton so this person can complete his term.
Once elected, this person has a month to put together a cabinet before taking the reigns.
Regardless, the matter of the fact is that Israel's helm will be given to one of the two leaders of the Kadima which are coming to a face-off on September 17.
On one side is Tzipi Livni, the cunning foreign minister who could become the first woman to hold the highest office in the country since Golda Meir.
On the other is the hawkish Shaul Mofaz, currently transports minister and formerly the defense minister.
While the secular Jews here clearly pend toward Livni - I heard one person say that she is very honest and seems to never lie -, this is not a general election. The direction this small country with big ambitions will take in the next couple of years is now in the hands of a few representatives of the ruling party.
If Livni wins, she will have followed a similar path to Meir, which was foreign minister herself before taking the higher office.
Let us just hope that Meir's fate is not repeated in a possible Livni tenure. In 1973, just before Meir's last year in office, Israel went into one of its bloodiest confrontations, the Yom Kippur war.
As Olmert said today in his address to the country, the northern border is at peace, following the Lebanon war. The peace with Jordanians seems to be holding. Livni seems to bring tidings of more peace, whereas, Mofaz indicates the opposite.
But in this country, life and death decisions often do not depend on who is at the helm.
No matter what is the outcome of the election on September 17, Israel is once more in the hands of God.
