Science Minister Yizhar Shai was the first to take out the dirty laundry.

After voting against the strict closure in the government, Shai threatened to resign and made sure to spread the pleas he made to his fellow ministers asking them to vote against the law, which he called "cynical, inappropriate, and unnecessarily divisive."

The Minister of Strategic Affairs, Orit Farkash, also opposed the general closure in the vote, claiming that it was an "economically unbalanced decision", and that Minister of Tourism Assaf Zamir voted against restricting the demonstrations, although he supported restricting the closure.

"Instead of lowering the flames of hatred, we are sitting in a government that incites them," he wrote in an apologetic and outspoken post he posted on Yom Kippur evening on Facebook.

Then, in the Knesset, it was Knesset members and Ram Shefa who led the resistance.

They voted against the law on first, second and third readings, refusing to comply with the request of their party chairman, Bnei Gantz, to back it up. A test hour for the faint trust that still remains between the political system and the citizens of Israel. "Farkash also preferred to be absent from the vote.

He has previously stated that he halted Netanyahu's attempt to ban demonstrations.

The individual objections in blue and white had no effect on the end result - the Great Corona Law that allows the government to declare a special state of emergency and restrict demonstrations and prayers entered the rulebook this week.

Only four months ago Gantz declared that "the right to demonstrate is sacred" and Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn stated that he halted Netanyahu's attempt to ban demonstrations, and it turned out that these were more correct statements at the time, according to the poet's article.

The party's top party in the government, Ganz, Nissenkorn, and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, decided that in light of the loss of control over the epidemic and the climbing dimensions of morbidity, the restriction on gatherings, including demonstrations, is reasonable and proportionate.

This is only a temporary decision, they explain, which needs to be re-approved by the government every week and then every two weeks, and once the economy opens up, they pledge, even a little bit, that the restriction on demonstrations will also be removed.

Netanyahu again got what he wanted

Blue and white officials have been moving fairly in recent days, in an effort to block even more draconian Likud moves.

Nissenkorn fights Netanyahu's attempts to pass emergency regulations in the government, Knesset committee chairman Eitan Ginzburg struggles with Likud members of the constitution committee who tried to limit them for a longer period. Only at the public level, and certainly for the protesters, At least in their current form. Outside the houses of ministers and MKs, dozens of black flag demonstrators have lined up in recent days, and on social media they are receiving a flood of resignation calls mixed with curses and insults from their former voters.

The appetite only increased.

On Tuesday night, before the charged vote in the Knesset, Ganz convened the faction members for a special meeting where everyone voiced what was on their hearts.

As is customary in blue and white, the controversies were difficult, but in a "cohesive" atmosphere, opponents explained why they thought they must oppose the law and be a more effective opposition to Netanyahu.

Others have tried to convince that closure is the health order of the hour, that restricting demonstrations is a real necessity, and in the name of solidarity and the spirit of the group one should swallow the saliva of values ​​and morals.

"It is a difficult time for everyone, and it is legitimate to reach different conclusions in the conflict of values, but we must remain together and united," said Hili Trooper.

Pnina Tamanu-Sheta strengthened and added that even if the decision is difficult, "my son should be given back," Omar Yankelevich argued that demonstrations and religious freedom do not take precedence over "the right and sanctity of life."

It was an unusual three-hour session, which received a variety of adjectives: "serious, important, significant, difficult," but in the end - it did not achieve its goal.

Nissenkorn pledged to coalition chairman Mickey Zohar that all Blue and White MKs would obey coalition discipline and support the law, Ganz made personal talks with everyone, but two MKs voted against, and one was absent.

The open wounds of blue and white were exposed.

It's hard to call it rebellion, not even rupture;

At most a deep internal rift, which stems from understanding the meaning of the joint meeting with Netanyahu.

And he's not going to disappear.

The decision to limit the demonstrations and the strict closure requires a reaffirmation in the government every week, and whenever that happens, the debate between the Likud and blue and white will intensify, igniting both the internal flames of the Gantz people, as well as the cries of protesters and protesters.

And Netanyahu's appetite only increased: as early as yesterday, he arrived at the Corona cabinet demanding an extension of the closure and a shortening of the protesters' term.

Ganz objected, and the two entered, again, into a loud confrontation.

The quarrels serve the Likud and the narrative that complains about the difficulties in running the "government within the government," but nothing good comes out of it for Blue and White - which has already plunged to the one-digit threshold in polls and does not know exactly where and who its public is.

Hundreds of protesters in Balfour and Tel Aviv against Netanyahu after the law restricting demonstrations was approved

To the full article

When the stately and naive attitude of Ganz and his friends meets the shrewd and experienced cynicism of Netanyahu and the Likud, the result is that of a "head boy," as one of the blue-and-white officials defined this week.

They fail to produce an alternative agenda or set policy, and find themselves mostly in containment battles.

The reality in recent months has revealed that the more they quarrel with Netanyahu, the more they fail to defeat him and therefore do not get a single point in the base.

If they flow with it - they are marked as a failure and lose the few points they have left.

This is what is called, getting caught in a corner.
