2021-10-20T20:28:28.665Z


This week's events in the Knesset testified that the opposition has recovered after two weak weeks of laxity and dysfunction • For the government this is bad news • And also: the ethnic flag is returning


On Monday, the opposition managed to exhaust the coalition members, to reach the point where a vote of no confidence was successful, and they were even forced to withdraw a government bill after the agenda came to an end without having time to raise it. On Wednesday, the opposition even managed to pass a proposal for an order to establish a parliamentary inquiry committee for the transfer and placement of teachers in Arab society. An issue that may not be relevant to the majority of the population, but discrimination is discrimination. This week's events in the Knesset testified that the opposition has recovered after two weak weeks of laxity and dysfunction. For the government, this is bad news. On the eve of the budget transfer, the last thing they need to see in front of them is a determined and militant opposition. On the other hand, the coalition is still coming to this battle when it is the clear favorite and with very high chances of succeeding in the task.

Although it requires a lot of energy, cancellation of vacations and hard work, the opposition is willing to cooperate with the militant line, stay long nights in the plenum and fight for every law and section in the budget, but often its members find themselves wondering where all this leads.

Victories in the Knesset are important, but what is the path from which a new government will eventually emerge and the current one will fall?

This question is often left unanswered.

Bnei Gantz option.

No-confidence vote.

Defectors from the coalition.

Urgent and distant possibilities that do not seem to be realized in the foreseeable future.

Netanyahu is trying to convey optimism and radiate outwardly that this is happening, but it is not entirely clear whether there is coverage for these broadcasts.

While Netanyahu himself is waving the political flag, emphasizing being the head of the right-wing camp and pushing the Bennett government to the left, some of his friends prefer to emphasize the ethnic flag.

The one that had been laid many years ago on the floor of the site of political occurrence, and it seemed as if no one would pick it up anymore.

Certainly not the Likud Party.

This week in a discussion in one of the television studios, MK Galit Distel-Atbrian slapped journalist Aryeh Golan that he was a "racist," after calling her a Netanyahu fan. This continued in the Knesset plenum. So it is necessary to explain what happened in Bab al-Yar in Ukraine at the time of the death deliveries, MK Orly Levy-Abaxis exclaimed and shouted at her grandfather that he was racist and arrogant.

She even devoted her speech to the pulpit later.

According to MK Shlomo Karai, this is not a guideline for the party, but a frustration that comes from some Likud Knesset members after the new coalition treats them time and time again with racism and patronage. And obtained degrees in academic institutions (Qari himself holds a Ph.D. in industrial engineering and management), "and all this while the one leading the current government is a rogue prime minister, and an alternate prime minister with no education at all," he says. "To us with our noses up in a show of condescension, to call us all bibists, thus creating the sense of herdlessness and the ability to think for ourselves, which characterizes ethnic racism."

The last thing the government needs to face is a determined and militant opposition.

On the other hand, the coalition is still the clear candidate to succeed in the task.
