Comeback?

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is suddenly the favorite to mount a comeback after current Prime Minister Naftali Bennett lost the majority he needs to hold his coalition together with a key defection on Wednesday.
Israel’s government looked set to crumble Wednesday after coalition whip Idit Silman announced she is quitting to form a new government, causing the ruling coalition headed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to lose its majority.

Silman, who is a member of Knesset in Bennett’s Yamina party, chose to defect after she clashed with Israel’s Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz over his order to hospitals to allow visitors and patients to bring in non-kosher-for-Passover food, known as hametz, during Passover — thereby contravening Jewish law.

Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., told Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on Wednesday that Netanyahu was considered likely to lead the next government, perhaps through new elections.
Netanyahu was ousted last year after several elections in which right-wing parties won a majority but could not form a coalition because some leaders would not work with Netanyahu, who faced controversial corruption charges. Though still on trial, Netanyahu has put up a spirited defense that has exposed the emptiness of much of the case against him.

Go get em, Bibi!
There's a win win.
At 72, he is getting a bit long in the tooth for the younger population now running thigs.
A lot of people on this site were angry at Bibi for congratulating Biden after he was deemed the winner in 2020. Probably just protocol as Bibi knew that Trump was on Israel’s side and opposed to the nuclear deal with Iran which Biden is committed to resurrect...
Seriously? Did she check all the hospital vending machines too, with every single one surely containing a product with leavening agents.
Man, Bibi is one unsubtle capo, to have his people supply Silman with that ridiculous cocked-up story to break Nerfhead's government.
This will be the 5th election in 3 years, that is seriously f'd up.
The guy was first elected as PM during Bill Clinton’s first term in office. I never understood the infatuation people have with these losers who spend their entire adult lives in politics.
There is a reason we have term limits. 15 years in power is too much. He needs to get over his ego and turn Likud over to someone else.
That would be GREAT!
Yeast brings down the government.
"And a lowly single-celled organism shall lead them..." -- Bibi 11:6
I knew that yesterday when the libs lost their majority!
“Silman, who is a member of Knesset in Bennett’s Yamina party, chose to defect after she clashed with Israel’s Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz over his order to hospitals to allow visitors and patients to bring in non-kosher-for-Passover food, known as hametz, during Passover — thereby contravening Jewish law.”
THIS is what you are worried about? THIS?
Religiosity, Does God REALLY CARE? NO, He doesn’t.
He’s a turd. Protocol didn’t demand he do it at the crack of dawn the day after the election. He was first in to congratulate Biden while the steal was still happening. At a moment Trump needed friends, he went turncoat. The Mexican President showed FAR more backbone and waited until at least the electoral college met.
The hell with him.
