Every day, the members of the coalition disintegrate from all their ideological assets in whose name they have cried, preached and protested all these years.


Almost every day that passes in the current government, another record of cynicism is broken at a level the political system has never known before.

In fact, for the "Great Purpose," as Bennett put it in his speech this week when he called on the parties to stop squabbling and stop shaking the ship, the current coalition elements are disintegrating every day from all their ideological assets in whose name they have cried, preached and protested all these years.

Thus, until soon there will be no remnant or refugee left of them.

It started when those who campaigned against Bennett, claiming that Yigal Amir was voting for him, made him prime minister.

This, together with those who called the Norwegian law the "Job Law" and inflated it like it had never been inflated;

Who joined the one who knows how to deal with the Arabs in a joint government with representatives of the Islamic Movement;

Who together helped the one who promised to reduce the power of the ombudsman, to pass a law that would increase his power as he never had, to oust a prime minister.

And that is well reflected, and perhaps even more so, in the state budget as well.

A budget that breaks the word of all the leaders of the current coalition parties when they were in opposition.

A budget of tax increases, harsh decrees and devoid of significant lines.

When you see the long lines that herald various and strange transfers to MKs and parties, you immediately understand why the prime ministers and the finance minister had to formulate such a miserable budget. They simply have no money left.

When Yair Lapid was in the opposition, he said of the Likud government's budget that "the coalition money belongs to the citizens of the country. The politicians are asked to remove their hand from the money of the State of Israel."

The law of principle and values ​​did not last a minute, and is violated already in the first budget that Lapid passes as an alternate prime minister.

Not even that, but the coalition funds of the Bennett-Lapid government budget are making their predecessors pale.

What was once given to political partners in tradition to preserve the stability of the coalition, is now given without any measurement and limitation, without proportions and mostly without shame.

Members of the Knesset lined up with a list of demands - and Bennett, Lapid and Lieberman signed the checks for everyone.

The "big goal" is above all.

Including over the need to preserve the "money of the State of Israel".

From the money that the residents of Israel, the organizations and the associations will put in - when they buy disposable utensils, sugary drinks or fuel for the car - the Knesset members from the coalition will be able to receive tens of millions of shekels each.

Street cats, transportation to Eilat residents, sector consultants, and public archives will be allocated a huge fortune, after the 30 billion of RAAM has already been given, while the rest will be groomed.

But hey, what is not being done to keep the coalition's 60 MKs happy.
