Ayelet Shaked is not built for national leadership.
She demonstrated this in the unfortunate statement: "One must know how to accommodate the seriously ill and also the dead. Because it is an epidemic, and in an epidemic people are dying. It is happening all over the world right now."
dead people.
Happens.
I admit I did not expect greatness from this mosaic government, but it is much worse.
Even in areas where there was an expectation of high performance, "the ministers come to work for you", the level of leadership and performance is low, negligent, incapable of execution.
Expect quiet action, industrial silence in public and politics.
Did not expect indifference of abdominal-back.
But do not be surprised.
To begin with, this is not a government that is able to deal with the basic challenges posed by life in the State of Israel and the international policy that surrounds Israel outside.
Bennett, Shaked and Saar's guilt is not that they joined the left and the Arabs and underwent sex reassignment surgery.
Their guilt is that they have given a hand in establishing a body called a "government", but are unable to function as a government in the face of problems and crises posed by national, political and health life.
No, this is not a personal problem of Naftali Bennett.
The reason he can not be prime minister for all that is involved in the job, is that he has not received "certification" from the public.
It has not won the public support that makes it possible to form a government and lead it on the basis of political power according to basic guidelines.
It's that simple.
The difference in leadership in the days of the fourth wave of the plague is screaming.
It is impossible to compare the leadership demonstrated by Netanyahu and Yuli Edelstein with the leadership of Bennett and Nitzan Horowitz.
Another explanation for the failure in the two important areas of security and health - and who knows what awaits us in the economy - is the loss of the basic code that characterizes the State of Israel.
A few months ago, British historian Niall Ferguson wrote about three countries that have been hugely successful in tackling the epidemic: South Korea, Taiwan and Israel.
He claimed that all three countries are characterized by a paranoid element, for historical reasons.
There are moments in the history of the nation in which she panicked.
Things are known and recorded in books.
Were it not for the national "paranoid" recruitment at the right moment, we would not be here today to deal with the virus.
it's necessary.
Compared to Israel, which knows how to mobilize itself in emergencies, there is Europe.
There it is a matter of failure and inaction, inaction, lack of initiative and dysfunction of the bureaucracy and the authorities.
And for all the horror and neglect - the cover of indifference.
The absentee government from the Corona struggle is instilling indifference in the public.
The industrial-political silence has turned patients into a coma in a difficult situation.
Even the dead.
Happens.
Happened.
Wrong.
