A Kadima member may be quitting that party

It looks like Zev Elkin, a Knesset member of Kadima, may be quitting:
(IsraelNN.com) Ze'ev Elkin, a Knesset Member of Kadima, has all but decided to quit his party. "I never meant to join the left-wing party that Kadima has become," he explains.

Elkin says his decision to quit Kadima is all but final, "but I believe that it would be proper to speak with party leader Tzipi Livni, and with Sha'ul Mofaz, whom I supported in the party primaries, before I make anything official."

[...]

Resuming his criticism of Kadima, Elkin said, "I sense that Kadima, Labor and Meretz are vying to see which one can better represent the left-wing - the radical left-wing, I would almost say - and it seems that Kadima's Livni is winning..."

Elkin said he met with party leader Livni recently to find out her policies, "and I came out more worried than when I went in... What has happened with this party since 2006 is a total turnabout; it has become a party of the extreme left. What used to be a red line is now a starting point for talks with the PA; in Olmert's case, it is even more than a starting point; he's ready to give in even before the negotiations. Members of the party are talking openly about dividing Jerusalem and a complete return, more or less, to the pre-'67 borders."
If Elkin is really worried, then he'll have to prove his word by quitting. Otherwise, he'll be no better than Shaul Mofaz, who initially said he was going to quit, then reneged.
