The most fragile cabinet in the history of Israel.
Many experts believe that the life of this cabinet and the reign of Naftali Bennett, who promised to strongly oppose the Iran nuclear deal, will not be much longer than the last Netanyahu’s.
Finally, after 2 years of uncertainty and holding 4 rounds of elections in the Israeli Knesset, this afternoon at 15:30 Iranian time, the formation of the new Israeli cabinet will be held and according to the agreement, Naftali Bennett will be in office until 2023. The prime minister will take over the regime.
Get rid of the nightmare of the fifth election
On March 23 of this year, the fourth round of the Israeli parliamentary elections was held with the lowest turnout in recent years to determine the task of power in this regime, but still the necessary and decisive result for neither of the two right-wing factions (led by Netanyahu). And the left (led by Yair Lapid) was not achieved; As a result, there was a need for an agreement and alliance between the two main factions with smaller and rival parties. Netanyahu’s Likud party won 30 of the 120 seats in the Knesset, bringing the total to 52 with the share of the parties that agreed to form a coalition with him, which is still less than the 61 seats needed to win a majority. It was the cabinet.
On the other hand, the left-wing parties led by Yair Lapid had a total of 59 seats and needed only two seats to form a cabinet. However, Israeli President Rivlin first tasked Netanyahu with forming a coalition cabinet, but within 30 days, he failed to win the consent of rival parties, and this time Yair Lapid, the leader of the Israeli left, was appointed to form the cabinet. It was around this time that Netanyahu launched a military offensive in the Gaza Strip to divert attention from the issue and Lapid missed the opportunity to form a cabinet, but only a few days after the Israeli army was defeated in Gaza and accepted the fire. In the last hours of the 30-day period, Naftali Bennett and Benny Gantz, two right-wing party leaders who openly betrayed Netanyahu, joined the Lapid coalition cabinet and simultaneously achieved two major goals:
The first was the political ouster of Benjamin Netanyahu after 11 years as prime minister, the longest-running record in the regime’s short history, and of course his possible inclusion in a corruption case and possibly jail time.
And second, to set a big bet for Lapid and the left, that the post of prime minister will go to Naftali Bennett in the first two years of the cabinet and to Yair Lapid in the next two years.
Interestingly, in the last hours before the formation of the new cabinet, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested to the leader of the Blue and White Party, Bani Gantz, that he (Netanyahu) resign from his post and that Bani Gantz be the first To become Israel’s caretaker minister, a proposal rejected by Gantz.
Thus, the Zionist regime was temporarily saved from the nightmare of holding the fifth consecutive election and continuing political confusion and indecision.
Fragile and unreliable cabinet composition
According to agreements reached between the Israeli left and right parties, the Bint_Lapid coalition cabinet will be composed of the following groups:
1. His party is led by Yair Lapid
2. Yaminah Party led by Naftali Bennett
3. The New Hope Party led by Gideon Saar
4. Blue and White Party led by Benny Gantz
5. The Israel Party is our home led by Avigdor Lieberman
6. The Labor Party is led by Mikhail
7. Mortas party led by Nathan Horowitz
It is noteworthy that despite the fact that the leaders of right-wing parties such as Naftali Bennett and Bani Gantz, with the aim of ousting Netanyahu and holding the post of Prime Minister and Minister of War for 2 years, joined the coalition with the left-wing of the regime, but until the last moment There was a rift between the parties on both sides over the formation of this cabinet, and even the Arab party “Ram” led by Mansour Abbas, which was supposed to be part of the cabinet in question, withdrew from its presence.
Many experts believe that the life of this cabinet and the reign of Naftali Bennett, who promised to strongly oppose the Iran nuclear deal, were not much longer than the last few of Netanyahu’s cabinets, and as soon as predictable differences between cabinet components begin, some We will be them and the re-dissolution of the government, and it is unlikely that we will see the process of holding a new election in this regime again soon.
