Security is everyone's.

Dr. Ursula von der Leyen is a German doctor, with a master's degree in public medicine. 64 years old, mother of seven, and served as her country's minister of defense on behalf of the Christian Democratic Party. She has been the president of the European Commission for three years.

When she was appointed to her duties, she was not asked about her military service, mainly because she had not served in the army.

She was considered one of Europe's more successful defense ministers, and even in her current position, which has considerable security aspects, she is accepted as a success story.

But in our country, when Netanyahu's consent to the membership of MK Yitzhak Goldknopf of Torah Judaism in the cabinet was announced, the question was raised as to how someone who has not served in the IDF can serve in a security-political cabinet.

This week, at the behest of the Rebbe of Magor, Goldknopf gave up on the idea.

The real problem with the membership on behalf of Torah Judaism in the cabinet is the degree of willingness of this faction, for its two parties - Agudat Israel and Degal HaTorah - to accept responsibility for the fate of the State of Israel.

This is the reason for the long-standing hesitation regarding accepting cases in the government.

That is why its representatives preferred to serve as deputy ministers in ministerial capacity, until the court invalidated this in 2015.

Those who try to exclude people who do not have a military background (such as David Levy, whose eye defect prevented him from such service, or Aryeh Deri, who served only symbolic service) from sitting in the cabinet - will not only do injustice to these people, but to the security issue itself, and to the need for the security decisions that are fateful to the future of Israel will also be accepted by those who do not have irons on their shoulders, and who, naturally, also consider non-military considerations when fateful decisions are needed.

Children in a chocolate shop.

The coalition partnership left Netanyahu's office with a sea of ​​promises.

They acted like children in a chocolate shop whose owner forgot to lock the door, and they still find it hard to believe that they managed to get so many promises.

Although they appreciate the consistency of the incoming prime minister, and know that this time too he will not fulfill most of the promises, but they are already preparing for the next election system, where they will be able to blame him for not fulfilling the important things that were agreed upon between them.

Thus, for example, regarding the examination of the annexation of parts of the West Bank.

The religious Zionist knows very well that the "Abraham Accords" would not have been reached if Israel had not avoided annexing 30 percent of the West Bank, and that if it were decided to annex them now, Netanyahu's only political achievement would evaporate.

There is no chance that he will do so, but for them - the written clause is enough.

They are really not worried about the political damage involved in publishing such empty articles, just as Otzma Yehudit is not worried about the damage that would be caused to Israel by the possibility of imposing the death penalty on terrorists (membership in the European Union, for example, is conditional on the non-existence of the death penalty in the country).

She also knows that all the security forces categorically deny the death penalty (for fear of kidnappings that will be carried out to prevent the evil of the decree), but all she wants is a document proving that she received such a promise, and to hell with Israel's position in the world.

"Selective enforcement".

But the pinnacle of the change from the springboard is the agreement to delete from section 7a of the basic law: the Knesset, the incitement to racism as a ground for disqualification of a list or candidate in the elections.

These things are part of a law that the government of national unity enacted in 1986, with wall-to-wall agreement, in order to prevent a campaign led by Meir Kahane to return and be elected to the Knesset, despite its blatant racist incitement.

Kahana's students today request to delete this from the number of laws, and Netanyahu agreed to this as well.

Sources on the right "explained" that this deletion is required because since the law was enacted, it has only been used against people from the right.

They do not think that it is because that is where the main problem lies.
