This article lays out how Chief Barak decides he wants to quit politics because he has no interest in it anymore. Barak is a wealthy man who just wants to have a "good time" despite every thing gone wrong in the country. The people of Israel are unsure about his decision since he gets bored of things but might go back to them because he feels like it.
This article describes how the people of Israel are unsure about the resignation of Chief Barak. Chief Barak was known to wanting and having a "good life". Strange how he manages to be happy and rich while the rest of the people of Israel suffer because of the tragic events unfolding every day. Why should he chose to resign now when there is so much turmoil in the country? Israel is in the middle of deciding whether or not to attack Iran's nuclear facilities; now there is more to worry about because of Barak. He simply has no interest in politics so why not quit while the whole country is already deep into the ground? Barack is only making matters worse by putting all attention on himself.
This article ties to the political life of the country because it shows direct correlation between who is wealthy and who is not. Chief Barak is a politician with surplus amount of wealth who decides what he wants when he wants. The rest of the country however are not so fortunate and have to live with the constant fears of what the country will decide next, whether it be with politics, military, or economy. The resignation of Chief Barak is important to the politics in Israel because it shows a reflection of all of the government. It shows that the government my not be stable considering some members can quit just because they get bored of it. It is a bad reflection because it shows to other countries and to the people of Israel, what kind of government they're running.
