Kadima had resisted joining the government when former foreign minister Tzipi Livni was at the party's helm, adidas f50 adizero because she did not think Netanyahu was serious about reaching a peace deal with the Palestinians. But Livni, who had been chief peace negotiator under the preceding Kadima-led government, recently lost her bid to remain party leader to Shaul Mofaz, a former miltiary chief and defence minister.

Israeli media reports said that Mofaz would become a deputy prime minister nike mercurial blue in the new unity government. Mofaz, too, has accused Netanyahu of not seeking a peace deal forcefully enough, and has also been a vocal critic of any unilateral Israeli military attack on Iran's nuclear sites. With Kadima in the government, Netanyahu could have broader backing to make concessions to the Palestinians and face added pressure to show restraint on Iran.
