The leadership paralysis of the Corona government is leading Israel into existential danger

The unity government is the broadest in the history of Israel and also the weakest.

It supposedly represents the majority of the public but in practice leads to the collapse of state institutions, deepens the crisis and breaks the trust of Israeli society in its leaders.

In the next election, a person who will present a different leadership will be elected

Governance is the ability of a government to make relevant decisions and implement them effectively by setting a practical timetable and budget.

There is currently no governance in Israel.

These parameters are not met.

This is because a prerequisite for governance is the existence of political stability, and the "unity government for the corona" is unstable to say the least.

The inflated Israeli government, which has dozens of ministers and deputy ministers, is a weak government that is unable to govern.



The government, formed as the Corona government, was also supposed to make unpopular and difficult decisions for the public during this crisis, was revealed, as a populist, weak and unstable government, a government that is afraid to make decisions.

This is because of the distrust between her heads from the first moment.

The threat of elections has been hovering over her since the beginning of her life, suspicion and torpedoing moves in all areas is a matter of routine among her "friends".

A weak government that is afraid to make decisions.

Ironically, the Transitional Government, which was an unelected government, managed to function several times better in the first wave of the Corona than the wider "Corona Government," which supposedly enjoys the trust of the majority of the public.

But keep in mind that the circumstances were different then.

Netanyahu took advantage of the development of the health crisis following the Corona virus to send a message of a national crisis that requires a unity government in order to save our darkness.

In doing so, MK Gantz provided a ladder to climb to the same government. The Corona then served political purposes, just as today the crisis created by the virus serves other political considerations. In the end it turns out that everything is politics.



Today there are too many people at the helm. and finally there is a feeling that with all the ministers do not see the cabinet. conduct cabinet meetings with so many ministers and deputy ministers it is impossible. there is no feasibility discussions organized and decision-making firm. Hzgzogim decisions and deliberations night that ended inconclusively, are not meant to surprise people.



it should be added Another problem that hurts governance: Key positions in the various bureaucracies and bodies of the state are staffed by people who are defined as deputies without full powers.In such a situation, there is no chance that the government will face the economic and health challenges.

The public, in all its parts, wants a different leadership

This leadership crisis is leading to a chaotic situation.

People hold weddings in a manner contrary to the provisions of the hour, the head of an authority defined as red decides to open the studies in his city contrary to the guidelines and instead of winning a police visit in his office world as is his custom.

The general feeling in the public is that "the man right in his own eyes will do."

Everything is allowed, there is no law and no justice.

There is no meaning to a government decision and there is no obligation to obey.



And the government?

Yuk.

Afraid to enforce her decisions and zigzags morning and evening.

The public feels that it cannot trust the decision-makers - from the prime minister to the last minister.

Their decisions are political, not matter-of-fact, no one is behind them and every member of the government is busy saving his image.



Today, the State of Israel under the false unity government is a collection of communities and individuals, which are run without a directed hand.

A herd without a shepherd.

Complete disintegration.

The lack of governance dismantles social solidarity and cries to heaven.


It may all start with the fact that the prime minister did not want to resign and conduct his trial, but we have reached a situation that is beyond that.

Chaos is beyond one person, even if it is his generator.

If the government does not recover and take matters into its own hands and run a state properly, state institutions will continue to disintegrate one by one.

What elections are there?

Seemingly nothing, but it is inaccurate.

Netanyahu recently chose not to go to the polls again, because he knows that elections in the shadow of the Corona crisis endanger the continuation of his term and he may be elected to another position, one that is not even a member of the current government.

The polls that compliment MK Bennett show the public trend.



The main thing that will interest the public in the next election is the leadership ability of the candidates, which is a rare commodity in our places. The corona may resume political thinking. more - leadership. perhaps another element that breaks the framework lumpy recognized. therefore, a candidate or a candidate caught as decisive leadership and win the trust of the public will be able to reach even the outside and enter the political power unexpected Knesset, and maybe even the position most desired.



in light of the loss of leadership The one who resonates in Israeli politics in all its parts, who will successfully market his leadership to the public, may be the next prime minister, including people we currently do not "see" as potential, because the public demands it, beyond the traditional bloc division, and all parts of society - secular, religious Haredim, Arabs, leftists, rightists, Ashkenazim and Sephardim, residents of the periphery and the center - all at the end of the day at this time asking for one thing - leadership will save the Israel from the decline.



currently the government members are hiding behind the project manager, Prof. Roni Gamzu. it is no coincidence that Prof. 'Ms.

Barbash did not agree to accept the position, he knew that without powers and policies, there would be no backing anyway and the position would be impossible to carry out.

It is not clear how long Prof. Gamzo will continue in office, but it is clear that when he leaves the government will have to find another fig leaf.

The thing that will interest the public in elections - leadership ability.

And so, all in all, the Corona government and its two leaders have led us all to a situation where Israel has been running without a budget since the end of 2017 - a country without a budget for three years, unfortunately we are the first in the world - while in deep deficit, suffering from unprecedented health and economic crisis And all its institutions are crumbling one after another.



In the first wave, the emphasis was on the health of the residents and the strict approach of former Health Ministry Director General Moshe Bar-Siman Tov. In recent months, the state has taken a "saving the economy above all" approach and allows businesses to operate without clear and unenforceable guidelines. Without real leadership and a functioning government, the Corona crisis will lead Israeli society to existential danger.
