The government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on the brink of collapse following the dramatic resignation of its defense minister, who was enraged about a cease-fire after Palestinian terrorists led by Hamas launched 400 missiles into southern Israel.

In resigning his post, Avigdor Liberman, a rival to Netanyahu’s right, branded the cease-fire in Gaza as a ” capitulation to terror.”

Israel’s parliament, known as the Knesset, has 120 seats and a majority is required to form or maintain a government. The defection of Liberman and his five seats means that Netanyahu will now be clinging to a razor-thin 61-seat coalition

Any new defections can bring down the government and force new elections. Already, other parties are starting to use their leverage making demands to be met or they threaten to leave the governing coalition.

A collapse may be more likely given the heated debate over a new conscription law for ultra-Orthodox Jews.

Many ultra-Orthodox communities avoid mandatory military or civil service, increasingly enraging other religious and secular Jews, who shoulder the burden of national defense.

Netanyahu, who has been in office nearly 10 years, finds himself in a precarious position, because any one coalition partner can bring down the government. He is also having to navigate domestic political scandals.
