Bad or worse: On the faultlines (a problem that may not be obvious and could cause something to fail) <\/strong>within the Israel\u2019s ruling coalition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The faultlines within the ruling coalition in Israel are becoming increasingly evident<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The resignation of lawmaker Idit Silman from Israel\u2019s diverse ruling coalition has taken the Jewish country\u2019s politics back to crisis and instability. With Ms. Silman defecting (Leave (a cause, a country or an army), often in order to join the opposing cause, country, or army) <\/strong>to the opposition Likud, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett\u2019s government, which had the razor-thin majority of 61 lawmakers in the 120-member Knesset, lacks the numbers. Elected to the Knesset from Mr. Bennett\u2019s right-religious Yamina party, Ms. Silman had earlier clashed with the Health Minister over allowing leavened (made with yeast or other raising agent) <\/strong>grain products (hametz) in hospitals during the Passover holidays. In her resignation letter, she said she could not support \u201charming the Jewish identity of the state of Israel\u201d. But the real political crisis in Israel is deeper than the hametz (leavened food banned during Passover) <\/strong>controversy. Ever since the coalition government was formed in June last year, Likud has been in constant campaign mode, attacking Yamina for \u201cstealing right-wing votes\u201d and using them to form \u201ca dangerous left-wing government\u201d. The Knesset is now in recess (A state of abeyance or suspended business) <\/strong>until mid-May. When it convenes, the Opposition will need one more lawmaker to defect if it wants to bring down the government through a no-trust motion. Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to do everything he can, as the leader of Likud, to get more right-wing MKs to break with the coalition. And the government is under pressure to keep the coalition floating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crisis has also exposed the coalition\u2019s faultlines and Mr. Bennett\u2019s diminishing stature (High level of respect gained by impressive development or achievement)<\/strong>. The alliance was formed after four elections in two years failed to produce a stable government under Mr. Netanyahu, who is also facing corruption charges. What brought a diverse set of parties, from the centre-right Yesh Atid and Blue and White to the right-religious Yamina and Arab Raam, was their intention to see Mr. Netanyahu depart from the premiership. Yair Lapid, leader of Yesh Atid, the largest bloc (A group of countries in special alliance) <\/strong>in the coalition, offered the Prime Minister\u2019s post to Mr. Bennett to ensure Yamina\u2019s support. That is how Mr. Bennett, whose party got seven MKs in the 2021 legislative election (now at five), ended up being the Prime Minister. But Ms. Silman\u2019s resignation has practically paralysed the government. Without a majority, it would need opposition lawmakers\u2019 support \u2014 which is unlikely \u2014 to pass legislation. And if the coalition crumbles (Fall apart)<\/strong>, Likud, as things stand, does not have a majority to form the next government under Mr. Netanyahu unless it ties up with the Arab Joint List. Given the mutual animosity (\u200ba strong feeling of opposition, anger or hate) <\/strong>between Likud and the Arab parties, this is unlikely to happen. So, there are two plausible (Apparently reasonable and credible, and therefore convincing) <\/strong>scenarios. One, Mr. Bennett\u2019s paralysed government will linger on at least until March 2023 when it will have to pass a budget. Two, the country will go to its fifth election in three years if the government falls. Both look bad for the people of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
