Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz
News time
For the first time in April 2019, elections were held in Israel according to the constitutional period but the country’s largest parties, Nitin Yahoo’s Likud Party and the Blue and White party of the competing candidates, received equal votes. Even after great struggle, no party could form a government. Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been the prime minister in Israel’s history three times, will sweat and the matter remains there. Finally, Israeli President Rivlin was requested to announce a second election. So re-election was held in September last month, but surprisingly, the two major parties again got 34-34 seats in the 120-seat House, and no party could win a majority, whereas, 61 seats are required for governance.
Israel has suffered from major economic, social and political crises over the past few years. The reason is that Prime Minister Netanyahu has been accused of corruption. In addition, abuse of power and intense tension over the issue of the Iran nuclear deal with US President Barack Obama last year also hurt Israel, but the nuclear deal between Iran and the US was finalized. Prime Minister Netanyahu offered his rival candidate Benny Gantz a mixed government, which the opposition candidate rejected. Apart from these two major parties, there are eight more political and religious parties in Israel, with only a few parties gaining 4, 4 votes and joining the House. Under the Constitution, a party with less than 4 seats cannot come to the House. Netanyahu tried to form a coalition of four-party parties, but members of his party did not agree.
Israel has been suffering from major economic, social and political crises for the past few years. The reason is that Prime Minister Netanyahu has been accused of major corruption. In addition, the tensions over the Iran nuclear deal with US President Barack Obama over the past years have also damaged Israel, but the nuclear agreement between Iran and the US has been finalized. Because of this, Netanyahu suffered a huge political blow. These are the reasons why they are not even able to get a simple majority in the recent elections. However, Netanyahu has the backing of the country’s fanatical religious circles, which seek further expansion of the Israeli state and reject the two-state formula.
Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz proposes to Netanyahu if both parties form a coalition government so both of them will have to make several amendments to the existing policy unanimously. A new policy guideline will be set up and the Prime Minister’s post will continue to be open to both leaders, but Netanyahu rejected the proposal. After which the President warns that the two parties should take a decision soon, the country is growing in anxiety, uncertainty and frustration due to political deadlock. The economy is growing from weak to weak. Due to the political situation, the uncertainty is also increasing in the military circles. In a way, Israel is facing many threats and concerns from the current crisis. The President also said that it is possible for him to announce an interim military government in the country he will be headed by himself, but Israel’s liberal and democratic circles are unhappy with the president’s proposal and are strongly opposed.
Since making Jerusalem the capital of Israel in the past, the country’s extremist and conservative religious circles have been pushing for more stringent religious policies in the country. Now Kamphorst day, which is celebrated between the end of September and the beginning of October with 4 to 6 days, is now celebrated with greater intensity and warmth. Netanyahu also has a full day of fasting. Now that Benny Gantz has set up his Blue and White party last year, the country has seen little political change. Benny Gantz was born in 1959 in Israel. After receiving an MA in Political Science from the University of Tel Aviv, he obtained a commission in the Army from 2011 to 2018, he formed his own political party after being ousted from the head of Israeli forces and then from the army. His party has more liberal and democratic members, most of whom are secular, therefore, his party is against Netanyahu, because there are more conservative and extremist Jewish religious people in Netanyahu’s party. And Benny Gantz is struggling to establish a Jewish state, for which he is integrating Arab-occupied territories into the Israeli state and settling ghettoes there. The Black and White Party has also announced that it will not allow Palestinians to come forward with an iron net, which is a kind of prison. It can be inferred that the Jew, whether conservative or liberal, is a strong Jewish and Palestinian enemy from within.
Israel’s population has increased from 55 million to 90 million in the last 12 years, while the population of Israel with the population of Israel is more than one million 70 million worldwide, the world is fully invested in the fields of politics, economy, science technology, weapons making and socialization. All the world’s major bank investors, industrial enterprises, and trading companies are surrounded by Jewish experts. New York and Wall Street are Jewish strongholds. Most institutions and offices on Wall Street are filled with Jewish legal advisers, income tax experts, talented accountants and bankers. These are creating producers in the world’s economy every day.
Like the other Jewish conservative parties, the new Blue and White faction, like other Jews, fears Iran. The reason is that Iran has always hit Israel hard in the Middle East and in the Muslim world. And now Israel is threatened by Iran’s potential nuclear program, and on the other hand Iran is threatening to build a highway from Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. If that happens, Israel is completely surrounded by Iran. Therefore, Israel seeks a proxy war with Iran. Syria still holds the government of President Bashar al-Assad, which is a major political blow to Israel and its allies. Israel is still pressuring the US to end Iran’s nuclear program right from the start, but the US administration is unable to fulfill any of Israel’s wishes. Israel needs to focus on its political crisis right away. Don’t know what crotch this camel will sit on.
