Netanyahu and his archrival Gantz and the snap elections

The internal crisis in the government of the Zionist enemy reached its climax on Tuesday, after War Minister Benny Gantz, who also carries the description of the alternative prime minister, announced that his party decided to vote on Wednesday with the opposition bill. , to dissolve the Knesset and go to new elections..

Yesterday, Gantz reiterated his accusation against the Prime Minister of the Occupation Government, Benjamin Netanyahu, of violating the coalition agreement reached by the Likud and Kahol Lavan parties, which allowed the formation of the current government last May, under the name of a government of national emergency to confront Corona..

Yesterday, Gantz reviewed Netanyahu’s failure to comply with the aforementioned agreement, especially his stagnation and failure to fulfill promises to approve a general budget for the entity on the one hand, and suspend appointments to senior positions, including the appointment of an inspector general of the police and a prosecutor on the other..

And with Gantz announcing that his party decided to vote alongside the proposed law to dissolve the Knesset through a preliminary reading this afternoon, it left the way open for Netanyahu to keep the current government and avoid elections if Netanyahu seeks to pass a general budget before the end of this month..

Gantz is confident in throwing the ball on Netanyahu’s court, in the fact that the vote on the law requires its approval for three consecutive readings, and after passing it in today’s preliminary reading, especially since the preparation of the law will be prerogative. of the Knesset Parliamentary Committee headed by a Knesset member of the Kahol Laffan party, Eitan Ginsburg. In a way that allows the Kahol Laffan party led by Benny Gantz to freeze the approval process of the law to dissolve the Knesset should Netanyahu withdraw and accept Gantz’s demands to approve the general budget for the years 2020 and 2021, in order to ensure the continuation of the government and to reach the implementation date of the rotation agreement between Gantz and Netanyahu as prime minister..

However, in the event that the general state budget is not approved until December 25, this automatically means the dissolution of the Knesset, the fall of the government and the conduct of the elections within 90 days..

Observers believe that Netanyahu is practically aware that the current government will not finish its legal mandate, so it will seek to postpone the date of going to new elections to June, in the hope that the vaccines for the Corona virus have arrived. and the vaccination process for the “Israelis” has begun, which will increase His position again, and guarantee his party a majority in the Knesset, along with the “Shas” and “United Torah Judaism” parties, and perhaps also the “Right” party led by Naftali Bennett, whose polls give him more than 20 seats, in exchange for an expected collapse of the “Kahol Laffan” party led by Gantz. Just 9 out of 120 Knesset seats.

Although there is consensus that Netanyahu wants new elections to avoid handing over power to Benny Gantz and not implementing the rotation agreement, yesterday he made sure, after Gantz’s announcement, to appear as an opponent of the early elections and dissolve the Knesset, asking Gantz to step back from the position of dissolving the Knesset and deepening cooperation. Within the government.

It is clear from the speeches of both Netanyahu and Gantz yesterday that the two became convinced that there were no prospects for the current government, and therefore tried to blame the responsibility of going to new elections, the fourth in two years, on the other, with accusations of non-compliance with the coalition agreement..
