Anti-Netanyahu coalition crumbles as Bennett goes back to PM
|
[JPost] - The "coalition of change" of political parties determined to end Benjamin Netanyahu's 12-year reign as prime minister seemed to be crumbling Thursday night as Yamina leader Naftali Bennett told associates he believed the option of such a government was no longer viable.
According to Bennett, such a government would unable to deal with the ongoing violent clashes between Jews and Arabs and would also be unable to rely on support from Islamist Ra'am party leader Mansour Abbas, whose four Knesset seats were key to a majority government.
"Security matters must come first," Bennett was quoted as saying.
The Likud party has offered Bennett to join a government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he would serve as defense minister and Yamina No. 2 Ayelet Shaked would become foreign minister.
The offer is conditional on Bennett first supporting a change to the Basic Law: The Government that would reverse the changes made by Netanyahu to give his now alienated Blue & White coalition partners equal power in the government.
If Bennett agrees, Blue & White leader Benny Gantz would immediately be fired as defense minister and his party colleague Gabi Ashkenazi would be dismissed as foreign minister.
You need to be political to become IDF chief of staff, but generals have not been doing so well in Knesset.
