These days an unexpected unity of opinion is being forged between the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah and religious Zionism, which is becoming the dominant factor in the upcoming government.
Over the course of many years, the governments - those of the right, and those of the center and the left - sought to convince the world that the situation that exists in the territory occupied by the Kingdom of Jordan in the Six Day War is temporary, until a peace agreement is reached.
In the meantime, as the previous governments have argued, there is no obstacle to the establishment of settlements in the West Bank (and in the past - also in the Gaza Strip) because the Fourth Geneva Convention, which deals with occupied territories and prohibits the transfer of populations to occupied territories, apparently does not apply to our case, because the world does not recognize sovereignty the Jordanian on this territory.
The High Court of Justice, in one of its most problematic decisions, determined as to the legality of the establishment of settlements in these territories, that this is a matter for the permanent agreement, and meanwhile did not prevent it.
The Palestinians, for their part, claim that this is not a temporary move that should be replaced by a permanent settlement, but rather a continuous occupation by Israel.
Only recently did the Palestinian Authority turn to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, with a request to declare Israel as occupying the West Bank, with all that entails (and the Israeli government, as usual, does not intend to cooperate with this legal review).
The most significant aid to the PLO comes from the negotiations (or giving and giving) between the Likud and the heads of the religious Zionist parties. The latter demand that the 55-year-old masks be removed, that the West Bank be treated as an annexed occupied territory and that the territory be managed directly, through the Israeli government, and not through The military apparatus that is supposed to manage occupied territories according to the Geneva Convention, such a helpful condition was never dreamed of in the Palestinian Authority.
What will Israel claim now - that everything is still temporary?
That soon a permanent settlement will be agreed upon with the Palestinians and the occupation will end?
It is very possible that the strategy of religious Zionism is to bring things to a Gog and Magog war, in which Israel will apparently be able to do things that can only be done under the cover of the flames of battle, such as "completing" the expulsion of the Arabs from the territory west of Jordan, as the Jordanians fear.
Religious Zionism does the work of BDS faithfully, and confirms the organization's main claim that Israel annexed the territories in violation of international law.
to harvest wind.
The incoming government was, in fact, established in advance.
Netanyahu didn't even need ceremonial talks with all the house parties.
It would have been possible to save a lot of time and establish a full-on right-wing, hawkish, hawkish, religious-religious government.
But that's not how things are.
This weekend, a month and a half after the elections, there is still no new government.
On the one hand, precisely because the government was assembled in advance to a large extent, and the prime minister-designate has no alternatives, it turns out that his loyal partners to the "Bibi Bloc" do not protect him with various lawsuits, and on the other hand, they want to receive everything in cash and before the formation of the government.
The plan for lightning legislation on the core issues does not coincide with the schedule for forming the government, although it is likely that President Herzog will grant Netanyahu more time.
The members of his group appreciate his abilities, but share in the criticism of the smoothness of his language.
They are not ready to be satisfied with promises of personal and constitutional arrangements, to the point where they threaten that they will not join his government if their requests are not met before it is established.
He who sows wind reaps a storm, even if this storm does not prevent him, in the end, from establishing his government.
