The challenge of building trust in the new government is difficult for two years • Several days have passed since Netanyahu and Gantz exchanged insulting rhetorical blows • Interpretation

After the dozens of ministers settle in the new or familiar bureaus, one more task will remain, no less important than a challenge that has accompanied the ministerial inauguration of the government.

The goal is to create trust between all the political factions that form the infrastructure of the unity government, and in particular, to create trust between the leaders of the large camps: the Likud ministers group and the group of blue and white ministers. Or, in brief: Netanyahu's relationship with Gantz. In the unity government, in the 1980s that passed the sign of rotation between Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Shamir, Defense Minister Rabin, a Labor party member, was the link between the two leaders: One could say that Rabin-Shamir's relations were better than Rabin's relations with his rival, a member of their joint party. . The challenge of building trust in the new government is difficult at times: After only a few days have passed since Netanyahu and Gantz exchanged insulting rhetorical blows.

We do not notice in the new government a meat that will be mediated between the two partners. To overcome the dual mission, epidemic and economics, the two, Netanyahu and Gantz, must invest tremendous effort in establishing the connecting bridge. This trust is necessary because there is nothing important besides achieving two goals: one, only restraint, only restraint of offensive rhetoric, may be government work in collaboration with the ministers from both camps.

Trust relationships are also needed for the other, most important aspect: the public. The public is concerned about both his health and his livelihood. The two senior leaders appear to need to demonstrate the performance of moves that will not raise objections, reservations, by various public figures. And not to forget: Minister Gantz must arrive at a moment when Netanyahu is supposed to hand over the keys of the most important bureau to him, when in the eyes of a large public he must look like someone who has matured for the post of prime minister. And before Gantz a tough competition: Netanyahu, as of these times, proves that for many his role as commander of the plague war is almost impeccable. The political dizziness of the past year has revealed many unexpected moves. Now a new government is starting its life. The public watches her hopefully, and only wishes for her success in the face of the mighty tasks.
