Dissolution of cabinets in occupied Palestine; Israel must prepare for the fifth round of Knesset elections.
Despite opinion polls suggesting that the ruling Likud party could win the Knesset election, the fourth round of elections in the Occupied Territories on Tuesday will not end the Israeli political crisis. According to Al-Alam, polls and speculation suggest that the Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will take 61 seats in the Knesset. However, it seems that the fourth election in the Hebrew government, which will be held on Tuesday, will become a political nightmare for the Zionists; Because it paves the way for the fifth round of the Knesset elections in two years.
“As we approach the finish line, the question is not who’s key to the crisis, but who “He will be convinced that he can end the crisis.” “Netanyahu’s situation is much worse than the other candidates because according to opinion polls, he will be only one seat away from forming the next cabinet,” he added.
The Zionist analyst stated that even if Netanyahu wins 61 seats, a stable cabinet will not necessarily be formed; Because in late December 2018, he decided to dissolve his cabinet, which had 61 seats in the Knesset, due to some difficulties in managing it. Ever since Avigdor Lieberman left the cabinet, it has been clear that this is not the right way to run the government, and the official reason for the cabinet’s dissolution is the crisis of reaching consensus on some of the Knesset’s legislative proposals.
“After all this experience, Netanyahu knows that a cabinet with only 61 members is merely a constant challenge and a headache, and even if he succeeds in forming a cabinet, he must work tirelessly to maintain it,” the article continued.
The author concludes that Netanyahu will face other, more experienced actors this time around, such as Gaddon Saer (leader of the new Amal party) and Zaif al-Kain, and that the outcome of the upcoming election may be just the beginning of a new cabinet battle. Be Israel.
The fourth Knesset election will be held in the Occupied Territories on March 23.
