NUMBER OF TIME COVERS: 0
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 0
PRO: The Vice Prime Minister who's dovish, by Israeli standards, and is probably the second most powerful politician in Israel. She got credit in 2005 for helping to get recalcitrant members of the Israeli government to agree to the Gaza withdrawal plan.
CON: She has to deal with a world largely hostile to her country's policies and reflexively suspicious of its motives.
