As of this morning (Wednesday), the 23rd “Knesset” has come under the jurisdiction of dissolved, which means heading to new general elections between March and April 2021, to be the fourth in less than two years.

However, the calendar of these elections was imposed on the Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation government, Benjamin Netanyahu, under different conditions, after he had aspired to postpone holding them to take advantage of the results of the Corona vaccination to win the electorate votes.

The “Knesset” solution did not come from the multiplication of opponents, but from spreading fragments of differences and divisions within the governing coalition parties, “Likud” and “Blue and White”, after they did not get the right votes. in favor of postponing the approval of the budget for the years 2020-2021.

Netanyahu had aspired to continue in government as he wanted, without adhering to what was agreed with Gantz when the coalition was announced last May.

He asked Gantz to take advantage of an additional 6-month term for the first 18-month term, instead of getting it after the expiration of Gantz’s term for an 18-month term, starting on November 17, 2021, and he also tried to dilute the approval of the two budgets for the years 2020-2021, which Gantz agreed to postpone approval. For a period of two weeks, Azul y Blanco presented a bill to the Knesset yesterday (Monday), which was approved by preliminary reading, but was withdrawn overnight for the first reading due to the opposition of 3 deputies from Azul and Blanco and one from the Likud who voted against, prompting their rejection. Opposition 49 and 47 in favor.

The irony is that the bill was about to be passed with the attendance of 95 Knesset members and the absence of representatives from Blue and White, the Labor Party and the United Arab League, in contradiction to the decision of the Arab List. Joint.

But moments before the vote, he surprised 3 “Blue and White” MPs by entering the “Knesset” room and voting against the bill, and it was withdrawn.

The sticking point remains: Netanyahu’s attempt to lay his hand on the Judicial Ministry that is held by Avi Nesalnkorn, “Blue and White” for fear of being prosecuted in cases of corruption in 3 files filed against him, always that Blue and White be granted the financial portfolio that Yisrael Katz currently has. Likud.

But Gantz refused to accept Netanyahu’s proposal to resign from the judicial portfolio, after he faced a rebellion within the “Blue and White” led by Justice Minister Nisalnkorn, fearing his desertion from the party, which that would lead to further fragmentation in him, after opinion polls for the next elections gave him 6 seats, while he currently has 14 seats. After the bloc she led had won 33 seats in the elections, before the Yesh Atid-Telem party split from it under the leadership of Yair Lapid and the Direch Eretz party.

In the upcoming elections, the battle for Netanyahu will not be easy, as polls show that his popularity is declining, and the Likud has yielded 29 seats, lost 7 seats from the current representation, and with its haredi allies, will not be able to secure more than 44 seats in Shas 8. 7 seats and the “Yehud-Hatwara” block.

And if Netanyahu had previously invoked that he was taking on the “center-left”, then his tricks would not fool the Israeli voter, because those who compete with him are on the far right, and leading them is Gideon Sa’ar, who failed because of his competition for the leadership of the “Likud”, so he moved and announced the formation of a party. New Hope – Unity of Israel, which was joined by Knesset members of the Likud, Blue and White and Derech Iritz parties, and the polls gave it 20 seats.

Sa’ar, who is focused on revenge against Netanyahu, is a major competitor to form the government, and the chances of his alliance are greatest with far-right parties, “Yemenia” led by Naftali Bennett, who polls gave him 14 seats “.

Atid-Telem 13 seats, “Yisrael Our Home” headed by Avigdor Lieberman has 7 seats, Meretz headed by Nitzan Horovitch has 4 seats and Azul y Blanco has 6 seats, who has an interest in settling his scores with Netanyahu.

This alliance is expected to secure 64 seats, with the possibility of forming a government without Netanyahu rising.

Polls gave the “Joint Arab List” headed by Ayman Odeh 11 seats, noting that it is now represented by 15 seats.

Netanyahu’s crime and domination, Gantz’s weakness and inexperience, paid the price by dissolving the “Knesset” 9 months after his birth.
