(NATSOUND ARGUMENT )
In Israel, the battle for prime minister is pitting neighbor against neighbor. Like these two men, Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon stand far
apart on the only real issue in this campaign---how to achieve peace
with the Palestinians.

(SOT DAVID CHORASH/ISRAELI CITIZEN)
"I THINK TO A GREAT EXTENT IT IS THE PALESTINIANS WHO ARE GOING TO BE MAKING UP OUR MINDS AND NOT THE CANDIDATES THEMSELVES."

(BARAK AND ARAFAT)
Opinion polls show Israelis heavily favor Sharon because they believe Barak's proposed concessions to the Palestinians amount to peace at any cost. Barak has been negotiating on how to share Jerusalem and has offered to give up 95 percent of the west bank and the Gaza strip.

(SOT DAVID GILAD/ISRAELI CITIZEN)
"HE THINKS BY GIVING AWAY LAND HE WILL GET PEACE, THAT'S NOT HAPPENING PEOPLE ARE GETTING KILLED."
Others fear Sharon's hardliner tactics of peace through strength is just a recipe for all out war. Sharon would concede far less territory to the Palestinians and would give up no part of Jerusalem.

(POLITICAL COMMERCIAL)
(natsound)
Through campaign ads both sides are trying to capitalize on the perceived weaknesses of the other. Sharon is portrayed as the hawkish right wing general who would be responsible for a military escalation.

(natsound)
Barak is shown as weak and incapable of controlling Palestinian aggression.

(STANDUP: DREW LEVINSON)
"THOUGH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CANDIDATES IS CLEAR-A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ISRAELIS REMAIN UNDECIDED. THEY KNOW THEIR CHOICE WILL DETERMINE THE COURSE OF THE PEACE PROCESS HERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. DREW LEVINSON, CBS NEWS, JERUSALEM." ))
