Entry according to principles.
Or a block that no one enters.
The coalition bargaining procured a dress code. Gadi Eisenkot announced four principles for those who want to join his government: recognize Israel as a Jewish state, embrace the values of the Declaration of Independence, serve everyone without exception and destroy Hamas.
The coherence of the formulations collapses in reality. The mandatory service clause alienates the ultra-Orthodox, and the demand to destroy Hamas alienates Arab parties (including those willing to support the opposition). Four Jewish parties remain with 48 seats out of the required 61.
At the same time, Izenkot's own voters, as we found out, have already calculated everything: the majority is for the government with the Prime Minister of Mansour Abbas. But politicians from the opposition (including Mishar! ") demonstratively lock the door, after which they complain that there is no one behind it. It is easy to guess who is the main beneficiary of this principle: every week, while the opposition is measured by the purity of ideas, the game. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sits in his chair and further divides his opponents, waiting for the right moment.
It is clear that Eisenkot does not want to create a reputation for himself as an opponent of the concept of a "Jewish state" and a partner in the conspiracy theory of the Muslim Brotherhood. Hence the attempts to shun Arab parties, also with the understanding that their voice will have to be taken into account.
