The game of accusations between Netanyahu and Gantz will become the longest-running election campaign of all time

The ceasefire between the Likud and Blue and White lasted less than 48 hours, and since the postponement of the budget approval date, everything has stood still. With the Netanyahu-Gantz government less than four months to the next halt, the assessment that elections are a matter of time may in itself put both parties in a spin, which will inevitably end in failure.

No peace dove landed on the table of the Netanyahu-Ganz government this week, and the Likud and Blue and White did not hand each other olive leaves. The agreement reached on Monday on the law to postpone the date of approval of the budget removed the threat of elections, and lowered the clock from the stopwatch to another 120 days, but since then - everything stands still.

On Wednesday, the coalition failed to raise a majority to approve a budget of NIS 1.75 billion for the start of the school year, and next Sunday, again, no cabinet meeting will convene. Deputy Prime Minister Bnei Gantz said this week that he still hopes to rehabilitate the reconciliation cabinet, but it may be worthwhile to start with the government, which has not convened for a month due to internal conflicts.

The ceasefire between the Likud and Blue and White lasted less than 48 hours. On Wednesday afternoon, in a conversation with ultra-Orthodox reporters, Ganz accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of "causing the people to split." The Likud was quick to fire back and mark blue and white as making it difficult for the faltering unity with the new slogan: "government within government."

The Likud yesterday launched the arrows all the way to Berlin, where Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi was on an official visit. In the old world, politicians would refrain from engaging in political attacks on foreign land, but no more. After Ashkenazi said that the government's policy "clearly shifted from annexation to normalization," Netanyahu's bureau insisted that he "knew nothing" about the agreement with the emirates, and therefore his remarks were "irrelevant."

Later in the evening, the burning front between the Likud and Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn was refueled. While these sharply attacked the judges, he defended on Twitter the "cornerstone of our democracy". For dessert, the Likud issued a statement towards midnight accusing the State Attorney's Office of "encouraging demonstrations by the anarchist left," and poured more fuel into the fire.

The Likud's attempts to cause a conflict at the top of the blue and white and to mark Ashkenazi and Nissenkorn as those in control of party affairs show that the threat of elections is still on the table. The blame game for his responsibility is in full swing, and has only been extended by 120 days, in what may yet become the longest-running election campaign of all time.

The compromise of MK Zvi Hauser (Derech Eretz) may have postponed elections, but it also sentenced the political system to another four months of questions, interpretations and speculation on the question "What does Netanyahu plan and want?". Netanyahu does not want this, as it turned out this week in a particularly comical moment in the Finance Committee, when MK Ahmad Tibi (the joint list) raised a reservation stating that the rotation between Netanyahu and Gantz would be respected. As is customary in opposition reservations, she fell, but from the rolls of laughter in a noticeable room there was no one who believed it was a scenario that would really happen.

The prevailing working assumption in the political system is that Netanyahu wants to dismantle the government by June 2020, and is only debating the exact timing, in accordance with the legal schedules. On the first exit point he had this week, which would have allowed him to go to the polls even before the opening of the evidence stage in the trial - he was forced to give up without getting everything he wanted from the initiated crisis. Netanyahu did "turn round" the threats of the election budget, when confronted with a brick wall of resistance in blue and white, a deadlock with the haredim demanded first of all pass the budget meetings, and a strong wind from the chairman right Naftali Bennett blowing right down his neck in the polls.

However, he maintained The point of departure that allows him to disperse the Knesset over the budget without transferring Gantz to the prime minister's chair. Netanyahu will be able to use it at the end of the 120 days, and postpone it even until the end of March according to his considerations. Gantz, who went into a political struggle When it is more open than ever.

The Netanyahu-Gantz government has 116 days left on the stopwatch, and a variety of internal and external events can still dictate and change the balance of considerations: security events, Corona closures, the dimensions of unemployment or the election results in the United States. Only the assessment that elections are a matter of time, in itself, may put the Likud and blue and white in a circular loop doomed to failure.

In order to survive the polls, Ganz and his people will want to stand up to the Likud and not respond to the whims of Balfour, and especially not to those associated with the Ministry of Justice. Any Netanyahu headache associated with the rule of law is an achievement for them, so they have no interest in calming or seriesing an issue for which it is most important. The more they stick to the opposition line, the more Netanyahu's frustrations will grow and his complaints about the disobedient and dysfunctional government will increase. He will look for ways to get out of it, and will renew efforts to locate defectors and form an alternative government in this Knesset, or - to go to the polls.
