Week after week, Israelis take to the streets, not so much over judicial reform as in protest of the man behind it: Benjamin Netanyahu.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Netanyahu’s right-wing government seems to do even less than its left-wing predecessor to truly end the security threats.
An old saying goes, “You vote Netanyahu, you get the Left.” And now we see that even a firm right-wing government can’t implement its own policies.
Netanyahu seems to genuinely want compromise and consensus on judicial reform, but now has his hands tied by insistent right-wing partners.
Netanyahu’s government must pass a state budget within 30 days, but other legislative obstacles are in the way.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court orders Netanyahu to allow Palestinians to attend controversial Memorial Day event.
Adds that Netanyahu is a “brilliant man” who has done great things for Israel as prime minister.
Latest polls show his Likud party falling behind the National Unity faction, and its leader, Benny Gantz, as the next prime minister.
As Israel’s opposition cries doom over downgraded credit rating, Bibi and his religious finance minister say God’s got it all under control.
Will the anointed one, or “Messiah” in Hebrew, Benjamin Netanyahu remain in power forever?
