The increase clause that will be put to the vote today will make it possible to see where the wind is blowing - elections or preservation from the unity government • Support for the move will most likely lead to the dissolution of the government • Interpretation
It makes no sense to transfer the prime minister. Netanyahu (right) and Gantz

Netanyahu never supported the overcoming clause. On the other hand, some senior Likud members and an absolute majority of his supporters turned the justified battle against the High Court into a big flag to wave. Netanyahu understood the electoral potential and allowed them, even hinting that he was with them, until the test The trial.
Ayelet Shaked's proposal for the overcoming clause that will go to the polls today will not be approved, but the manner in which Likud members will vote will allow a glimpse into the prime minister's considerations - whether to go to the polls soon or stay with the unity government for now.
In terms of blue and white, the overcoming paragraph is a red line. Violation of the coalition agreement by the Likud, as recommended by faction chairman Miki Zohar, could lead to blue and white support for a submarine commission of inquiry (which is also being voted on today by Yesh Atid) and a definite dismantling of the existing framework.
Precisely in the days when the hypocrisy of the court was exposed in full isolation, the importance of the overcoming ruling reappears. In 1993, we will recall, in Paris Square, when right-wing demonstrators sought to demonstrate in front of the house of Yitzhak Rabin who led the Oslo Accords, Maor Aharon Barak stated that "the right to demonstrate must be balanced with the right to privacy of the prime minister, his family and neighbors." Only recently have Barak's successors rejected a petition by Balfour neighbors, and have not issued a restraining order against left-wing protesters.
The members of the ultra-Orthodox factions, who are launching threats at Netanyahu not daring to dismantle the government and go to the polls, are threatening with a bullet empty of bullets. Netanyahu is their only candidate. Netanyahu's only obstacle is the fear of the future. In the polls, the Likud is unstable, as is the right-wing bloc. By all estimates, the big troubles are still ahead of us. It makes no political sense to go to the polls. On the other hand, giving Gantz the prime minister in a year and a bit - also does not exactly stand within the bounds of logic.
