On Friday, October 9, 2015, a government survival car stopped near an olive tree near the high-tech park between Rosh HaAyin and Kfar Qassem. Education Minister Naftali Bennett emerged from it, resolutely approached the tree and lowered green flags with dense Arabic inscriptions, which looked like Hamas flags.



Bennett returned from morning prayers in Peduel, with the Armoni family, the parents of Naama Hankin who was murdered with her husband Rabbi Eitam Hankin by Hamas terrorists in a terrorist attack that took place 9 days earlier at the Beit Furik junction. On his way back to Raanana, on the Trans-Samaria Road (5), Man Dhao sent him pictures of "Hamas flags" that the residents of Kafr Qassem hung in the nearby high-tech park.



Bennett was a young minister with a short thread.

His blood boiled.

He ordered the driver to get off Route 5 at the Rosh HaAyin junction, drove to the place where the flags were hoisted and lowered them.

Later, heroic images of the young minister and his (symbolic) war against Hamas went online.

So far, quite a spin.

Later that day, Kobi Alon, who was the director general of the Kfar Qassem municipality at the time, called me. "But flags of the Islamic Movement, the southern faction. It has nothing to do with Hamas. There are internal elections here and they are running."

This is how it is, I told him, Israelis see a green flag in Arabic, they see Hamas. "The southern faction of the Islamic Movement is unrelated," Alon said. "They are law-abiding Israelis who do not engage in and do not support terrorism



. Almost certainly he checked, came back to me, and thanked her. It was nice of him. By the way, the person who ran on the same list whose flags were raised and lowered by Bennett was the head of the movement in Kafr Qassem at the time, and next to Taha, the municipality's education portfolio holder. Today, Taha is a Knesset member in Bennett's coalition.



The prestigious American magazine "Time" chose Bennett this weekend for its list of 100 prestigious influencers. The moving text attached to Bennett's portrait was written by MK Mansour Abbas. How small the world is. Abbas is the head of the Islamic movement, the southern faction.

Wrote about Bennett the moving text for Time Magazine's "100 Influencers" list.

Only six years separate that Naftali from the current Bennett.

No, I do not think he has given up his right-wing ideology.

Yes, I do think he understood some things he did not know then.

The move he led with his partners in the face of RAAM and the joint list is a historic move on a biblical scale.

This would not have happened without Yair Lapid, Avigdor Lieberman, Gideon Saar, Bnei Gantz, Merav Michaeli and Nitzan Horowitz.

This would not have happened in life without Benjamin Netanyahu, who trained the entire event in a public purge campaign for Mansour Abbas who led with his voice and the sound of his trumpets.



One way or another, the bottom line is shaky, almost inconceivable.

On the topic, an existential question to which the answer has not yet been given: Are the people of this country able to live together?

Can they cooperate?

Can they put their disputes aside and focus on agreements?



Meanwhile, the answer seems to be "yes".

The coal in the coalition and the sun continues to shine, but we must not forget that this is only the beginning of a long and dangerous road. The real tests of this coalition are still ahead of it. Many want to see it destroyed.

Bennett concludes the 100 days of grace, the first quarter, with a "passing" score. no more. He passes, because he has passed the uneasy hurdles he faced, slipped off slippery slopes, skipped mines and finished the quarter on his feet. He passes, because he has passed the internship and moved on. Will it complete the entire service? Even he has a hard time knowing. One income-producing and significant asset is still at his disposal: his predecessor, opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu.



As long as Netanyahu continues his pathetic nightmare on the lines, Bennett can smile. Netanyahu's ridiculous imitation of President Biden, which drew coverage on all major American sites, demonstrates to Israelis what was here before the Bennett government and gives it room for maneuver. His base, as of this moment, are all those who saw Netanyahu as a real danger to the image and stability of our country. They are less interested in what Bennett is doing. They still remember what Netanyahu did.



In terms of performance, the quarter-end certificate is reasonable.

Let's start with the bright spots: a "smooth" transfer of the budget on first reading, a long and convincing series of reforms, precise economic management that relies on Avigdor Lieberman, who looks like a shark that has finally reached the right ocean.

This axis between Bennett and Lieberman was problematic.

Rivers of bad blood flowed between the two and in his deliberations before he decided to jump into the water Bennett feared mostly from Yvette.

He conducted some quiet checks and discovered that Lieberman was matter-of-fact and ready to open a new page.

Not Bennett's lover, like the disgust for Netanyahu.

Since then, it has looked like a honeymoon.

In closed conversations, Bennett marvels at his collaboration with Lieberman and the finance minister's abilities as a gymnasium girl in love.

What's weird is, it's pretty reciprocal.

On the subject of the corona, Bennett is far from a safe shore. In this area, the grade will be given only at the end. We're barely at first. Bennett's decision to go full force on the booster was leadership and courageous, but did not yet stand the bottom line test. It turned the epidemic into an unvaccinated epidemic, but the blow the Bennett government suffered last week from the U.S. FDA decision stuck a sharp stick in the wheels of the third vaccine. This, and more: Prime Minister Bennett is still having a hard time producing the leadership needed to sweep the public behind him when it comes to Corona, and in general. The fact that his government has not yet removed the veil of censorship imposed by the previous government on corona proceedings and deliberations, as is customary in orderly democracies, also obscures the overall picture.



Yes, Bennett managed to get us through the holidays without closure, contrary to the prophecies of wrath and destruction of Netanyahu and his tails. The country is open, the economy is running, the school year has opened as a series. Despite all this, the road to success is still long. This virus is cunning, dangerous and fickle. It will be talked about more.



In foreign affairs, the score is good.

The appointments of Bennett (Eyal Hulta at the National Security Council, Shlomit Meir, political advisor and Mike Herzog, ambassador abroad) turn out to be successful, the visit to Washington was excellent, the restart in Amman was essential and the honeymoon with Egypt is encouraging.

Lapid filled the ranks in the Foreign Ministry, something that Netanyahu did not allow his predecessor (Ashkenazi) to do for known reasons.

Leaving the appointments of the previous government (Arden at the UN, Hotovli in London, Eder in Rome) is also not self-evident. Netanyahu, in a similar situation, would return all the ambassadors to Israel and also try to humiliate them as much as possible. Politically, it's a matter of culture of management and rule, and it's good that way.

Security: Tap Tap. The escape from Gilboa Prison is not attributed to the Bennett government (they started digging 8 months ago) but happened on his shift. It threatened to collapse the narrow foundation on which the government was built. The prophecies of rage persecuted each other, even Zechariah Zabeidi, who read the exaggerated descriptions of himself, did not know he was like that. Eventually the whole six was put back in place quietly and quickly and order came into place in peace. There is no great victory here, there is a firefight here that could have consumed the entire coalition.



The first security bone stuck in Bennett's coalition throat is, as expected, Gaza. He is trying to stop the suitcases of cash and convert them into a mechanism of "sterile" money transfer directly to the needy consumer in Gaza. It was partially successful. I.e. failed. There is no way to transfer the $ 10 million (out of 30) to Hamas officials themselves and the entire Gaza Strip is boiling, on the verge of an explosion. At the end of the day, when incendiary balloon smoke dissipates, we may find that the Bennett-Lapid government will do with Gaza exactly what all its predecessors did: nothing.



The nuclear elephant in the middle of the room is, of course, Iran.

The legacy that Bennett inherited in this area is simply appalling.

It is worth a separate commission of inquiry.

Bibi left behind mostly scorched earth and a long line of heroic speeches.

The bet on retiring from the nuclear deal without alternative preparation failed and crashed.

The notion that the Iranians would fold and return to an improved agreement, the Iranian regime would collapse or Trump would land a military blow, exploded in our faces.

None of this happened.

The only one who collapsed, is Trump.

We were left completely alone when Biden was not interested in allocating energy to the issue in light of his world war with China.

These scenarios were raised before Netanyahu. He was warned by those whose job it was to warn. He ignored. Now Bennett, Ganz and Lapid stand in front of the ruins. The trough is broken and the bomb is ticking. Do not envy them. Or his son. Although, it is worth mentioning: Iran is today the shortest distance to a nuclear bomb ever, but has not yet managed some important hurdles. In terms of the amount of material scored, it is already a threshold state. But even after she has enough enriched uranium for a military level, she needs to know how to put it all into the warhead of a missile and produce a missile that can take it thousands of miles. It could take another year, at least two years. In the meantime one should pray for a miracle.



Another problematic area that requires a quick solution is the wave of violence in the Arab sector. The train of violence and murder has continued to gallop with 94 murders (as of today) since the beginning of the year. This business will not stop by itself and cosmetic treatment in the form of a few more police stations will not be helpful. Aggressive, thorough, state, decisive and powerful action is required here. A declaration of a bitter war on the Arab crime families is required here. It's much harder than it sounds because this war will take place in a built and problematic area. Any unnecessary bloodshed could turn Israel's Arabs on the government. The demands to collect weapons and put an end to violence will be converted into demonstrations of rage over unnecessary police violence.



The government needs to wage a world war here while walking on tiptoe. not simple. This story is big on the dimensions of the Minister of the Interior, Amar Barlev. The General Staff patrol, which he commanded, will not suffice here. This should be a comprehensive and comprehensive move to which the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Finance and, of course, the Prime Minister should be committed. not simple.

"Not a huge success, not a diligent failure. In the meantime - the score is 'passing'."

An area where the results, meanwhile, are far below expectations is, ostensibly, the easiest area: cleaning the stables in the Prime Minister's Office and its surroundings.

Surprisingly, the people Bennett has entrusted with the management of his environment, and this is especially true of the new Prime Minister Yair Pines, are showing poor performance.

They work upside down.

Anyone familiar with what is going on in the corridors of the disaster area they inherited from the previous prime minister understands that instead of cleaning the stables, they are filthy with them. The malignant pockets of corruption continue to operate, almost unhindered. , Who insisted on legal management. They keep them away.



Overall, as noted at the outset, the score passes.

Not a huge success, not a diligent failure.

Something in the middle.

The main achievement is the silence that has descended on the government system.

The (relatively) quiet work of the ministers, the mutual paragon, the convincing proof that left, center and right can sit together and even like each other, without compromising ideological principles, for the benefit of the state.

Bennett does not yet appear to be the leader of all this.

At the moment, he is still portrayed as an energetic high-tech manager, and nothing more.

To rise to the level of true leadership, he will have to overcome much more severe crises.

The encouraging news is that he will not lack such.
