He had a long run….
12 years….
He has managed to piss so many off?
They have gotten together there to kick him out from power…
He seems to be having the same fate his buddy Donald Trump is…
Having the legal hounds on his tail….
The bills are becoming due….
Beating down Hamas still won’t save his job….
This new government, if it is voted into power by the parliament in coming days, will be the anti-Netanyahu government. The organizing principle of the “change coalition” is the assertion that the prime minister’s dogged push to keep his office after four inconclusive elections is harming the country.
Netanyahu, who was indicted on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in 2019 and has been on trial for a year, has waged a scorched-earth campaign against prosecutors and judges. He dissolved parliament in 2018 rather than let rivals have a chance to form a government. And he has railed against lawmakers wanting to replace him as leftist radicals, raising fears of political violence harking back to the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by a right-wing Jewish nationalist.
Several of the coalition leaders are former Netanyahu allies who share many, if not most, of his hawkish views. They say, however, they can no longer share a government with him because of their personal experience with his record of breaking promises, humiliating partners and sidelining potential rivals…
Palestinian reaction to the coming removal of Netanyahu…
Their politics is just as bumpy ….
….for many Palestinians, his putative removal has prompted little more than a shrug and a resurgence of bitter memories.
During his current 12-year term, the Israeli-Palestinian peace process fizzled, as both Israeli and Palestinian leaderships accused each other of obstructing the process, and Mr. Netanyahu expressed increasing ambivalence about the possibility of a sovereign Palestinian state.
But to many Palestinians, his likely replacement as prime minister, Naftali Bennett, would be no improvement. Mr. Bennett is Mr. Netanyahu’s former chief of staff, and a former settler leader who outright rejects Palestinian statehood.
Instead, many Palestinians are consumed by their own political moment, which some activists and campaigners have framed as the most pivotal in decades.
The Palestinian polity has long been physically and politically fragmented between the American-backed Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank; its archrival, Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza; a Palestinian minority inside Israel whose votes have increasingly counted for making or breaking an Israeli government; and a sprawling diaspora.
Yet alongside last month’s deadly 11-day war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and the worst bout of intercommunal Arab-Jewish violence to have convulsed Israel in decades, these disparate parts suddenly came together in a seemingly leaderless eruption of shared identity and purpose….
Israeli opposition groups say they have the agreement and votes to send Bibi packing…
Great news all around.
Yup….
The ‘hook’ for him and his buddy
People get tired and annoyed..,.
People get fired who think they can’t be
This is a very fragile coalition being held together by nothing but “good will.”
Netanyahu may be gone for now ,but I would by no means count him out of the Israeli political future as you seem to be saying.
We all know your tendency to declare politicians “finished”(see Trump,Donald J) even as they continue to exercise enormous influence over the political scene in a country.
He, he, he…..
Jack?
You are giving Bibi the Trump ‘thing’ eh?
Both are the ‘second coming’ for their followers you keep insisting even if the word is their followers have had ‘enough’ of them…
At least you ARE consistent …I’ll give ya that….
Throwing the flag on that analogy. Bibi’s “followers” would not acknowledge a first “coming.”
Yup…..
Forget the natives….
They don’t count as being here….
No, you seem to not understand that Judaism does not consider Jesus to have been the Messiah which led you to a dumb analogy.
Natives of what? Here? Where? Explain yourself better.
Columbus ‘discovered’ America?
So maybe you posted something on the wrong thread? That’s all I can determine.
James seems confused by the word “coming”, taking it to mean coming to America rather than the first or second coming of Jesus Christ.
