Lieberman is no longer relevant

The glue that united the parts of the "only not Bibi" coalition finally evaporated in the air. Avigdor Lieberman ruled the political system in Israel for a year and three months, leading it to an unbelievable state of collapse and ongoing uncertainty. For three election campaigns, he managed to mislead and turn the tongue with the goal of removing Netanyahu, or at least, turning him into a surplus through personal legislation that would limit his activity. This obsession has led to Boogie Ya'alon taking Lieberman's beginner courses with Netanyahu's hatred.

Lieberman's ultimate goal was to break up the Likud by removing Netanyahu, and to lead to fierce battles around the inheritance between the party and the party's leaders. He made two demands to realize his balance. The first, to form a government without the ultra-Orthodox parties, Torah Judaism and Shas. Incredibly, since 1977 until today, the ultra-Orthodox - which Menachem Begin has incorporated with his government with tremendous talent - have become an active and integral part. Part of the governing system.

The obsessive desire to cut off the Likud from the ultra-Orthodox has made Lieberman's partners and friends in political ventures, such as the running of the mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Leon, to lepers that should not be approached. Every street sign that Lieberman circulated was smeared with the white sanctification letter demanding the removal of the ultra-Orthodox coalition. Seemingly, only in this way will Israel return to the straight path, progress, liberality, rationality and enlightenment. Lying in a false grip.

The Likud's non-Likud detachment process did not cream skin and tendons; Lieberman was not able to scratch the paint on the walls of the right. The one he thought would bring the left bloc and determine its need, he evaporated. Litzman and Deri, along with Bennett and Shaked, were unwilling to meet with Gantz. In the Likud, Gideon Sa'ar and his group showed responsibility and rallied around Netanyahu's leadership.

At that point, fraud was embarked on an unprecedented scale. Recall that Lieberman led the lawsuit for the complete removal of Israeli Arabs from the Knesset by requiring every citizen of the State of Israel to sign a declaration of allegiance to a Jewish and democratic state. Anyone who refuses will lose their right to be elected and even be deprived of the ability to obtain an ID. But for Netanyahu's removal, he chose to work closely with the Knesset joint list, which is to pass personal laws together that would prevent Netanyahu from continuing his political activities as prime minister, after 58 right-wing Knesset members unequivocally supported him. In the midst of the Corona crisis, Lieberman explained to anyone who wanted to hear that Netanyahu did not want an emergency government or a unity government, but solely for his own private interests. Then came Gantz and Ashkenazi and eliminated him from the scales, making Lieberman finally irrelevant.

Lieberman is now Yair Lapid's story. They tied their fate together. There is a chance that they will unite politically around hate speech to Netanyahu, the loathing of the ultra-Orthodox, and the condemnation of Gantz and Ashkenazi. It may be that Torch will save him from the Knesset blockade when we reach the next election. But it is more likely that in a short time, Torch will understand the significance of the new procurement that he will put into his company, as his loyalty will march before him, and the package will fall apart. Or so, Lieberman will go and do for himself and his children.
