Israeli Government About to Fall?

It seems like so many nations are split and ready for a serious upheaval.  One has to wonder if this is one more sign that the very last days are upon us.  With enemies surrounding Israel and missiles flying in from all directions one would think Israel would be united in their desire to survive!  But that’s not the case.

 Opposition Leader Yair Lapid slams National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir as a “TikTok clown” and calls for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his “extremist and deranged government” to apologize to the people of Israel for their actions.

Addressing reporters ahead of his Yesh Atid party’s weekly faction meeting in the Knesset, Lapid says that while his prediction last year that the government would fall in 2024 did not come true, “everyone who was in the Knesset yesterday understood that it will not take long.”

“We saw what happened here yesterday. A pale and weak prime minister, and Ben Gvir was making fun of him in front of the nation. I won’t be tempted to give another forecast with a timetable, but I was only wrong about the date, and I have no intention of apologizing.”

Lapid says that the coalition is only holding itself together because its members know that if elections were held today most of them would not be voted back into the Knesset.

“This government is a sick, corrupt, dysfunctional body, the most extreme and failed government in the history of the country, and it has lost the public’s trust,” he says.

Netanyahu left the hospital yesterday evening, two days after undergoing prostate surgery, in order to vote on a critical budget-related bill after Ben Gvir announced that he would oppose the legislation. The bill passed by one vote.
