Silman's resignation and the national-religious demonstration of the RAAM and the Shura Council ignited the imagination and hopes of opposition members that here, Otto, the government is falling. Accordingly, in recent weeks there have been prophecies of an immediate crash. The opposition may be in too much of a hurry.
Political processes do not mature in one day.
Although the loss of the coalition majority in the Knesset and the other processes can be described as a big bang, it takes time between that and the day when "the stars will get along."
The haste, as is well known, from the devil.
When it comes to dismantling the government, this haste creates fertile ground for unnecessary mistakes, and for paying exorbitant prices for goods that are about to expire.
The next right-wing government will focus on the Jewish identity of the state and a comprehensive change in law enforcement and justice systems.
As part of the opposition's efforts, contacts are being made with Gideon Saar's men and Ayelet Shaked.
Even if both can skip big mines like the issue of the prime minister’s identity, armor and jobs, Shaked and Saar set conditions in the most sensitive area of the right-wing bloc: dealing with the justice system.
Saar and Shaked protect the system.
To a large extent they are her ideological captives.
They want to take responsibility for the field of law in the future as well.
The goal is not to fix the system but to continue to deploy the Iron Dome over it, lest someone think of trying to balance the courts, the prosecution and the law enforcement system that have gone completely out of balance, back to their legal and original place.
This is an almost rude demand that arises only under the auspices of parts of the opposition, who are behaving like an elephant in a china shop.
Some would say that this is naivety in the face of two politicians whose value is shrinking day by day.
Still, Ministers Saar and Shaked are fighting to survive in politics to the extent that they are fighting for the legal oligarchy.

2 Prime Minister Naftali Bennett learned this week that he is not at all the true captain of the sinking government ship.
The Prime Minister does not sit in the aquarium. As part of his surrender to Yair Lapid, the latter assumed all the powers of the position, leaving only the honors.
Lapid and Mansour Abbas illustrated the undermining of Bennett's status.
The picture became clear in the submissive negotiations with Ra'am, where they demanded that from now on their conduct be in front of Lapid.
So far the coalition partners have ruled out Bennett being the real leader.
This week, Abbas blew up the illusion bubble.
Bennett's political stock is worn to the ground.
Until recently, his path seemed to be paved for second or third place on the list of having a future in the next election.
But then came the reports about the fortress he built for himself in Raanana, and the culinary celebration he held at his home at the expense of the state.
Thus it became radioactive for the whole system.
Torch does not need a politician without an audience, without status and without a party.
He is mostly building on loyalty, which it turns out Bennett did not know how to provide.
Last week, the former director general of the Yesha Council, wearing the kippah and chairman of the right, met with political strategist Aharon Shaviv. He gave up his right-wing audience. Malpid, Gantz and Saar. This week they briefed his associates that the prime minister will not be abandoned like Rabin.
Bennett is paving another and dangerous path.
Last week, the prime minister pressured to launch a military operation. It seems that his goal is to pressure the prime minister to resign from the government, and thus remain prime minister until the election.
Security forces vehemently opposed the move, seeing it as a military use for election purposes.
Bennett's recklessness also caused severe tension with Lapid.
People close to the events also point out that the words "move in Iran" were recently heard around the prime minister.
Staying, for now.

3 Bennett understands his condition and the fact that the size of the bow does determine.
In the event of an election, such a major difficulty will be addressed because there is a future in his direction, and his ability to respond is extremely limited.
In addition, the joint safety net has created a reality in which for the first time the government depends on its votes for its very existence.
The conclusion is that the dying process of the Bennett-Lapid government will take longer.
However, the new coalition brings the Jewish state closer to the vision of a state of all its citizens.
Only the seepage of this understanding to the public, the Knesset and the government, or an external event that will sharpen the differences of opinion between the coalition factions, will lead to its dissolution.
Against this background, an alternative government in the Knesset is not in sight, and only new elections will bring about change.
It will happen without paying prices.
This will happen because there is no public support for the end of the vision of the Jewish state.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
