Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is working to officially dissolve his own government.
In a move seen by many as the climax of one of the most bizarre sagas in Israeli political history, the political coalition that has held a very slim majority in the K’nesset (Israeli parliament) for the past year is seeking to abruptly end its own rule and bring the Jewish state to yet another round of elections in three months.
But why on earth would the Israeli parliamentary coalition do that?
The answer is simple: because Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu and his political allies are poised to legally take over the Israeli government and reinstate Netanyahu to his former role as prime minister. By dissolving the K’nesset, Bennett’s coalition is desperately attempting to thwart that move and go to new elections instead.
In order to comprehend this conundrum, the Israeli political model must be understood.
In a nutshell, Israel does not have a bipartisan system with separate chambers of government like the U.S. Rather, the executive (the prime minister) is the dominant member of the legislature (the K’nesset). Dozens of political parties of varying size compete to win as many of the available 120 parliamentary seats as possible.
After the election, the dominant parties (13 in the case of the last election in 2021) work to form a coalition of at least 61 seats to establish the majority. The prime minister is then selected from those 61 or more parliamentary members, called ministers of the K’nesset.
Until 2021, Netanyahu had dominated the K’nesset for over a decade. But last year’s elections were very different.

In other words, he is reneging on the deal from the last election and is a liar.
Thanks for the update, but I will never again list your page. TOOOOOO MANY commercials that slow everything down and irritate the head.
Sorry, but take a lesson from me. I have one add, and it’s for the friend of my wife who is a beautician. Check it out, and you will see it does not irritate the head,
Well, Trump didn’t call Biden on November 8, 2020, and congratulate him on his election win like Netanyahu did.

Yup. After what Trump did for Israel, this is gratitude from Bibi. In the end, he was Pence.
