One of the elements that is poorly remembered from the period of Likud rule is the repeated abolition of government meetings.
This is a negative symptom that was then interpreted as governmental centralization.
"The prime minister is canceling the meetings because he is deciding on his own anyway," five-year-olds and senior commentators alike concluded at the time.
He has no interest in hearing what Ganz is currently thinking, and senior Likud members he has appointed ministers are coordinating with him anyway.
easy.
This is what happens to a prime minister who does not know when to release.
Last Thursday, just two months after its establishment, a cabinet meeting was canceled.
After weeks in which the corona cabinet is run with deputies, because the ministers are not in the segment;
After shattered roles emerge like an avidar after the rain;
After Yair Lapid makes a Devin tour of Morocco;
A day after absurd conversations were leaked between Shasha Bitton and Horowitz about vaccines in schools, a dialogue that is a sketch for everything;
It was announced in the news that the prime minister is going on vacation in the north and therefore the meeting is canceled.
It was no longer funny.
Not because someone really thinks the head is going to rest, but because such a statement is seen as a certificate of poverty for the way the government is run.
In the current situation, this is a certificate of poverty for most of the ministers, who act as worn-out civil servants who have achieved tenure, and now they can sign remotely and make sure once a year that they have been put on sick pay slip.
The prime minister's announcement that he is "going on holiday in the north" resonated more like "I can no longer" and less like "I have a family and she wants kayaks". "I was left alone at the front."
Bennett dances on the two notes - vaccination and savings.
He does not want to make a fuss, lest he wake up the Knight Kara, who may yet take an interest in the distress his former colleagues, the self-employed now facing the Corona grants that Bibi promised they would not have to repay, and the tax authority takes.
Bennett also does not want to quarrel with Lieberman, who in turn will collapse the middle class and will not receive substantive assistance.
The prime minister is walking on a thin, messianic rope, this is his plan, this is risk management. You can support or resist. You can not ignore. A minister who ignores the situation ignores the people. the most.
True, there are exceptions - Ayelet Shaked as usual on the altar, Merav Michaeli released a picture of herself getting vaccinated and Nitzan Horowitz struggled. At the last minute, Gideon Saar sent a vaccine photo from the square, and it is to be hoped that Shasha Bitton will not take revenge on him. But where are all the guys? In a reality show, the winning strategy is to escape in the first few episodes, not to draw fire so as not to be candidates for dismissal, and thus survive on. The audience will not remember. In politics, the genre should strive for more. The constant tapping of ministers puts them in a problematic light as those sitting on the fence waiting: if the experiment fails, the public will remember that they were silent and did not insist, for example, on holding government meetings. If the experiment succeeds, voters of the reality show - or election - will know they are good candidates for dismissal.
