An expression of approval and commendation
eg:In the past few weeks, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon managed to convert two ringing defeats into victories. When his own Likud Party tried to bind him to a total rejection of the Palestinian state option, he declared that, as a national leader, he was above party politics and assured U.S. Secretary of State Colin L. Powell that he still favored a Palestinian state at the end of the process. When his emergency economic austerity plan suffered a surprise defeat in the Israeli Knesset last week, Sharon kicked the culprits--ultra-Orthodox ministers from the Shas and United Torah parties--out of his coalition government, declaring that he wouldn't budge until the economic package was passed. Both moves earned him genuine kudos from a large majority of the Israeli public.
