Opinion | Is the mandate dead? Long live our country: on Knesset members who have fallen to their parties Israel today

2022-05-24T07:11:31.665Z


The legislature must give its opinion on the issue and close the loophole in the law that allows MKs to leave with the mandate • It is time to put an end to this lawlessness


Who does the mandate actually belong to, a Knesset member or a party?

What is the difference between those who were elected in the primaries and those who were dropped from the list?

And what happens if disagreements arise, should the mandate be returned because it belongs to the party, or should one leave with the mandate and walk around the Knesset as a UFO that has become detached from the gravity of the earth?

Candidates in the primaries can prove that they were elected by a functioning vote.

Who earned their place on the list.

But what about those who were parachuted?

They gained light from the no man's land.

The head of the party dropped and that's it.

There are different types of "paratroopers."

MK Galit Distel Atbrian is grateful to Netanyahu, who placed her in 10th place.

She is one of those who will not hesitate to quote a page of messages, there are positions according to the position of the parachutist and will reach an astonishing level of symbiosis.

The other type is the example of Amichai Shikli, who was brought to the right by Naftali Bennett, followed by the aura of the military preparatory school he founded and managed.

Secular, right-wing, beautiful blur and title.

He spoke in praise of Bennett and the right, and of course, against Netanyahu and the Likud.

After the formation of the change government, Shikli changed his mind and decided that Netanyahu was the one for him.

Retired from the right Even for a second it was not easy to retire from the Knesset, return the mandate and continue with his life.

He continued his membership in the Knesset, as if with his own hands he had brought about 50,000 votes to the right - the height of the seat in the last election.

It is clear that Bennett and Ayelet Shaked brought the seats.

And to the new parachutist - Jeda Rinawi Zoabi, MK Meretz, who was dropped to 4th place by the chairman, Nitzan Horowitz.

She is not flesh and blood of Meretz, nor did she run in the party primaries.

Some claim that it was dropped to prevent Issawi Faraj from being elected.

Meretz was lucky, and she won six seats in the election, and both entered the Knesset.

And while Freage, a veteran of Meretz, was appointed a minister in the government and spoke in favor of a Jewish-Arab partnership, Zoabi made Shabbat for herself.

There were those who smelled the potential for damage and led a move to appoint her consul in Shanghai.

Last week, it became clear that the damage was indeed heavy, and could rise to a coalition in its lifetime and bring an end to Meretz's path in politics.

Rinawi Zoabi withdrew from the coalition and sent a letter, which conveyed impudence and disrespect.

He is not addressed to the chairman of her party, whom he did not bother to update, but to the prime minister and his successor.

Return the mandate?

She does not even dream of doing so.

From now on her face will begin and she may concede, but she will forever be suspected of a mine.

We can also add Eli Avidar, who disengaged from the mother spacecraft, Yisrael Beiteinu, and launches threats everywhere, and Idit Silman, who was elected on the right, after leaving the Jewish House, led by Rafi Peretz, and Levant and Limina close to closing the Knesset lists.

The Distal Atbrian case can be understood and respected.

She has taken on the positions of the Likud and its leader and is acting accordingly.

Shikli, Rinawi Zoabi, Avidar and Silman are difficult to understand and difficult to get on the agenda.

They may have barely brought the voices of their families and a handful of other friends.

The legislature must give its opinion on this issue, close the loophole in the law that allows MKs to leave with the mandate and put an end to this abandonment. The mandate will be returned, and immediately.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
