"After the budget" has arrived - and now that its stability has been ensured, the government is entering a new political period - in which internal disputes are expected to surface.
Until the budget was transferred, it was agreed to try and avoid raising explosive issues on the public agenda.
Now that the budget is behind us, the right wing in the coalition sees quite a few explosive issues that could cause rifts in front of the left wing.
Lapid's entourage sounds calmer, arguing that after a "noisy" period there will be a period of quiet: ministers will work in their offices and MKs will be fired.
The friction points of the government,
Weak link: RAM
In the political system, it is customary to point the finger of blame at Bnei Gantz or Ayelet Shaked as those who may dismantle the government - but this is an assessment that, according to political sources, is completely wrong.
Ganz could get anything he wanted from the Likud - and refused.
According to political sources, there is no reason in the world for him to do now what he did not do in the past, as it is a political suicide.
Beyond that, Ganz does not believe Netanyahu's word, claims he cheated on him and does not intend to cooperate with him again.

Shaked, the same political sources claim, could also have stopped the formation of the government, but did not do so then and will not do so now.
She is very close to Bennett and in recent years has shown that she is taking a "step forward and two steps back".
According to them, she has neither the desire nor the courage to go for the process of dissolving the government.
As for the right and new hope it is clear that they have no interest in dismantling the government as long as they are faltering in polls around the blocking percentage.
It is estimated that in the Meretz and Labor parties, voices of opposition to right-wing agendas will be heard - but they do not pose a risk to the integrity of the government.
Political sources in the government say that "the left returned to power after more than 20 years. It happened in an imaginary political scenario that is unlikely to happen again. Most of the people are right-wing, the lottery has now fallen on them, the possibility of them returning to power is slim. "The government and return to the opposition desert. When 'right-wing' issues arise, they will protest, issue press releases and that's it. They will not dismantle the government."

According to government sources, although there is good cooperation with Mansour Abbas - but this is an "unexpected" party, what will the RAAM members do in the event of an unusual security escalation?
How will they react in the event of heavy pressure from Arab society, if there are Arab casualties across the border?
It is impossible to know.
Senior Likud official: "Netanyahu is here - and will remain"
With the approval of the biennial budget, the question of the future of opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu is once again raised in the political system. In the near future, Netanyahu intends to increase the pace of field patrols around the country, and in addition, Netanyahu's office at Ze'ev Fortress in Tel Aviv is undergoing renovations, steps that his associates say do not indicate retirement.
He has no intention of getting off the wheel. "
The Likud estimates that after the budget is transferred, the scorers within the coalition will actually expand and more controversial issues will come up on the agenda and make it difficult to manage the government's proper agenda.
In the Knesset, too, the Likud intends not to let go, and to try to tease and embarrass the two branches of government on the right and left with various bills that the coalition parties raised in the past and today may embarrass them.

Thus, for example, already this week the Likud intends to support the joint list proposal to establish a hospital in Sakhnin, a proposal that RAAM members who will have to obey coalition discipline will have to oppose, thus being exposed to criticism from the Arab public. Right and once the left wing of the coalition.
"We will expose the failures of this government," said a senior opposition official. Balance sheet and the funds transferred to dubious factors in the Arab public.
We will reveal everything. "
