Ehud Barak leaves the Labor Party. Labor likely will fracture

Tunisia, earthquake. These are the words used by former senior Labor Party members to describe the party's situation following the resignation of party chairman, Ehud Barak. "The Labor Party is like Tunisia – divided into militias," former minister Moshe Shahal told Ynet.
 
[It is reported that Barak and some of his followers are forming their own party.  Remaining Labor party members might join [centrist party ] Kadima.  Others might gravitate to the Left, joining Meretz.]
