The Bennett-Lapid government today (Sunday) announced its work plan and policy statement for the forthcoming term.

In a more than 200-page booklet, 27 cabinet ministers and other heads of government outlined the main goals they aspire to and intend to advance within their tenure.

Dealing with the corona crisis is one of the main recurring themes throughout the booklet - but the climate crisis, strengthening Arab society and removing barriers and regulation are also defined as goals by many ministers.

Some of the goals of government ministries do not necessarily have the consent of all coalition partners, which includes right-wing and left-wing hawkish parties.

For example, the center-left ministers have placed peace and strengthening relations with the Palestinian Authority at the forefront of their minds.

Chairman of Yesh Atid, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, declares in his goals that "expanding and deepening the peace circle" is one of the Foreign Ministry's main goals, including "confidence-building measures between Israel and the Palestinians." The list promotes cooperation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and Energy Minister Karin Elharar announced an intention to strengthen energy ties with the PA.

In the same way, the left is not expected to enthusiastically accept some of the statements of right-wing ministers: Illegal Palestinian activity in the West Bank.

The Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage, headed by Housing Minister Zeev Elkin, defines the preservation and rescue of antiquities in Judea and Samaria as a goal, including announcing increased enforcement of Palestinian robbery and destruction activities. The religious-conservative faction of the government will not accept with great joy the goal of Minister Nachman Shai in the Ministry of Diaspora to ensure the establishment of "Jewish renewal" - that is, the reformist and conservative currents. On the left, they will be forced to swallow the declaration of the Minister of Religions, Matan Kahana, on the conversion system, "which will remain state-run and will act according to Jewish law without compromise."

Some of the goals are not agreed upon by all coalition members.

As is customary in large governments with split portfolios and powers, some of the plans and objectives are dual and parallel, and some require inter-ministerial cooperation and are also expected to generate friction and credit battles.

Some ministers have adopted existing ministry goals and plans, inherited from the previous government, and some new plans are already recognized from ministerial statements in the first 100 days of government, but are accessible and viewed to the public as a neat grocery list that can be reviewed in the future.
