The Chairman of Israel's Resilience is about to discover that the attacks he has experienced on the right are nothing and nothing compared to what he is preparing for on the left. Hezbollah and Hamas • Opinion
About fifteen minutes before the March 2 issue, reporter Amit Segal said "one thing can be said: last year's nightmare is over." Immediately after that, it became clear that three seats were missing to form a coalition, and the nightmare was not over, but the opposite. Against the backdrop of the Corona epidemic, as in a mad exorcist, each one donated his or her own to plunge the country into disaster.

Yesterday you could breathe a sigh of relief. Indeed, the nightmare is over. The train that lost the brakes managed to stop squeaking. There are losses. But common sense, conscience, national responsibility - have returned to the top of the parade.
Benny Gantz has shown leadership. Despite all the slander, despite the propaganda against him. In the end, he favored the victims of terrorism over Ahmad Tibi who defies the Israeli victims, waving his fingers at them with the "vi" mark. Now there is a big "vi" sign for Benny Gantz. It won't be easy for him.
Already today, venom columns and character assassinations are being published. All that is said against him from the extreme right will receive a brutal and violent twist a thousand times over. He felt the crude hysteria of the left, July Edelstein, in his decision to resign. Now it's Gantz's turn. Both of them are now experiencing, for the first time in their lives, the nihilistic media showering shower that Prime Minister Netanyahu has experienced over his scarred political skin for generations.

But joining Gantz and Gabi Ashkenazi in senior positions with the government is ultimately also recognition of Netanyahu's leadership; The same Netanyahu who stormed them without gloves. This 70-year-old man confidently led a 24/7 state of crisis in the face of an epidemic that landed on a clear day on a state that "has never been better". His series of decisions was correct and foresight. It is still difficult to judge the outcome of the decision. At least we have gained time to face the wave of morbidity that is flooding us.
But Israel with Gantz-Ashkenazi and their friends and a functioning government is also stronger in the face of challenges and threats that are now downhill; Hezbollah. Hamas. Iran. This unity government, without a torch and without Lieberman, is doing us the Sabbath.
