Yom Kippur is a time of soul-searching, introspection, atonement and repentance - concepts that are usually foreign to the cynical and cold political world.

"Offenses between a man and his friend, there is no Yom Kippur from a village," the sages stated, and certainly not between a politician and his constituents.



Nevertheless, in the past year, elected officials in Israel broke records for breaking promises. It is unlikely to be apologized for - and the answer, in this case, She's probably just at the ballot box.

Ganz's promise: We will replace Netanyahu

After three elections in which he pledged to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, last March blue-and-white chairman Bnei Gantz broke his main promise to more than 300,000 voters. He dismantled the most serious government alternative to the Likud's center-left bloc in the past decade. And opened coalition negotiations to join the Netanyahu-led government.

Voters have a hard time forgiving.

Blue and white people have many reasons and reasons for neglecting the word they gave to the voter, which essentially justifies that it was the worst option out of a variety of bad options: for them, there was no viable option to form a minority government, the alternative was fourth election The annexation and destruction of the right-wing rule system of law.

Judging by Ganz's dive in the polls, his constituents have a hard time forgiving.

Netanyahu's promise: Swarm of sovereignty and clean right-wing government

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu managed to achieve unprecedented achievements in the last election year with the promise of one central election for the voters of the right-wing bloc: the application of sovereignty over the Jewish localities in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley.

He traveled to the Jordan Valley to declare sovereignty there, and traveled as far as Washington to praise the "Plan of the Century" that would allow him to apply sovereignty over 70% of the West Bank.

In the end, Netanyahu relinquished sovereignty in favor of peace: less than six months after forming his fifth government, he agreed to freeze all annexation plans until further notice in favor of agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

This is not Netanyahu's only sin against right - wing voters: in order to maintain his rule, he founded the "right - wing bloc", and for months the bloc parties signed various and other declarations of allegiance.

The bloc did its part and prevented Gantz from any possibility of forming a government, but once he did his part - he also ended his historic role.

Despite all the declarations of allegiance, Netanyahu did not even bother to invite the "right" to join the government.

The promise of Levy-Abaxis, Peretz and Shmuli: We will not sit with Netanyahu

Voters from the "Only Not Bibi" camp suffered a severe blow with the entry of blue and white into the unity government with the Likud, but the primacy is reserved for MK Orly Levy-Abaxis, who was the first to torpedo the possibility of forming a government without Netanyahu. The left, with Labor and later with Meretz, took its mandate and defected to the opposing bloc, the first crack to break the dream wall on a government led by Ganz.

A painful defection.

Meretz voters still rubbed their eyes in astonishment at its painful defection, and then the leaders of the Labor Party, Amir Peretz and Itzik Shmuli, also betrayed their main promise to the voter.

The same Peretz who shaved his mustache so that they would believe he would not enthrone Netanyahu, the same Molly who thwarted Avi Gabay's entry into the government in April 2019 because he refused to sit under him, joined Blue and White and joined the Netanyahu-led government.

Handel and Hauser's promise: We will support a government led by Ganz

Although Levi-Abaxis was the first to fall, it was Yoaz Handel and Zvika Hauser who caused the final collapse of Ganz's possibility of forming a government without Netanyahu.

The two right-wing MKs of Blue and White opposed the formation of a government with the help of the joint list, not even in one vote, arguing that it was an explicit election promise given during the campaign. Hauser and Handel joined and ran in the party on the other side of the political map. Netanyahu, but in the moment of truth they stopped Gantz and effectively paralyzed the center-left bloc and the only option he had was to replace the government.

In the name of ideology and the call for unity, Handel and Hauser also tweeted about Moshe Ya'alon, chairman of the Telem party who brought them to the blue and white in the first place, and founded the Derech Eretz party, which currently does not pass the blocking percentage. The public seems to be punishing the rebels And the arteries: Both Levy-Abaxis' "bridge" and the Labor Party found themselves in a similar dismal situation in the polls, that is - very close to a zero support rate.

Deri's promise: the guarantee for rotation

Shas chairman Aryeh Deri was the main supporter of the rotation agreement between Netanyahu and Gantz.

Already in the second date of the elections, when the Likud and Blue and White negotiated the outline of the president's fortress, he promised Gantz that if Netanyahu did not keep his promise to transfer the prime minister to Gantz, he and his party would stand by him in case the agreement was broken.

"I gave all the guarantees that it would take place," he said at News 12 at the time. It was not enough to connect Netanyahu and Gantz in December, but in the Tuesday election, he continued to mediate vigorously between the parties and managed to help form a unity government.

Guarantees?

An empty word.

Blue and white put their trust in Deri's word, but within a few months they discovered it was an empty word.

In the recent budget crisis, Deri did not demand that Netanyahu fulfill the agreement and did not use all his power to prevent elections.

And securing the guarantee?

disappeared.

"Ganz did not sign any agreement with me," Deri said last month, "a guarantee is to sign and commit."

The promise of the Corona government, that it did not even pass a budget

The raging corona caused Netanyahu and Gantz to give up their promises to voters and form an emergency government, which was supposed to fight the plague and prepare for recovery from its damage.

But from the very first moment, it disengaged from the goal: the largest government in the history of Israel arranged a position and bureau of no less than 35 ministers, some with invented offices, while hundreds of thousands of Israelis registered with the unemployment bureau.

An emergency government that has disengaged from its goals.

In the five months since then, they have quarreled over annexation, the budget and the rule of law - but they have not been able to take control of the corona, only to degenerate Israel's situation down morbidity and mortality rates.

And most importantly, the government has failed in its first mission: to pass a state budget that will provide some stability and horizon for the economy and the economy.
