In an Israeli election surprise, Netanyahu, the long-serving Prime Minister of Israel for the past decade, who with his allies barely eked out enough advantage in the recent election to be tapped to form a ruling coalition to govern, has surprisingly failed to form a government in Israel.
Netanyahu’s surprise failure to form a government has put Israel on the brink of an unprecedented political crisis.
Israel is on the political brink, where for the first time in Israel’s history the winning candidate selected by the president to form a government as prime minister has failed in the task.
Since the election the tide has turned against Netanyahu; when after the election, Netanyahu who has several criminal indictments hanging over him, attempted to lock coalition members into binding agreements;
That included a bill granting him retroactive legal immunity and other legislation that would allow the parliament in his control to override Supreme Court decisions.
His plan backfired, unleashing massive public opposition with the people demonstrating against his effort to gain immunity and with retired and current officials also speaking out against it as well.
It was viewed in Israel as a blatant attempt by Netanyahu to protect himself from the law. Now Israel is potentially a day away from political chaos.
The appropriate Israeli electoral procedure by law, if Netanyahu does not pull of a coalition in the next hours, is for the candidate of the next political party with the most seats to be tapped as the prime-minister-designate instead and given the opportunity to put together a coalition forming a majority government as Prime Minister.
That would likely be, Benny Gantz, whose centrist moderate Blue and White party won 35 Knesset seats in the election to Netanyahu’s right wing Likud Party’s 36.
But Netanyahu and his party is working to prevent that from happening with his Likud Party putting in a preliminary motion to disband the just elected Knesset and schedule new snap elections.
It’s also been reported that Netanyahu has considered to form what they call a minority government with a coalition totaling only 60 seats.
But this would be an unprecedented move in Israeli politics; although minority governments have previously existed, this has historically been the result of coalition partners withdrawing their support for the government later in a Knesset term and not at the very beginning.
Whatever does happen in the next hours, what is becoming more evident is that Netanyahu is weakened with the criminal indictments and with the huge backlash against his efforts to get immunity from the law and the courts.
Where his political opponents have gained and become emboldened saying it’s in doubt he would even serve out his term; also any government that he could implement would likely also be fractured and weak as well.
With these surprises swirling within Israeli politics, it could lead to a future government in Israel coming about with new attitudes toward negotiations with its neighbors in the Mideast.
To where Israel would become more serious for Mideast negotiations and ultimately engage with the prophesied mediator to come.
Ultimately making a 7 year Mid-East agreement with Israel that will bring about the Last Days Temple at Jerusalem and also the rise of the anti-christ as foretold in Daniel Chapter 9.
