Israel government heads for a fall while struggling with new covid crisis
![]()
This week, the virus again started lurching out of control. Tuesday, Dec. 1, saw 1,227 new cases, the highest since mid-October. A massive five-day shopping binge in 15 reopened malls was a glaring testament to the ministers’ latest bungled decision and the inevitability of a third lockdown.
It is up to PM Netanyahu to table the 2021 state budget by Dec. 23, or else the government falls. It is up to alternate prime minister Gantz to decide whether his segment of Kahol Lavan awards his erstwhile co-leader Yair Lapid a majority for the motion to dissolve the Knesset on Wednesday.

Gantz Says Will Vote to Bring Government Down
![]()
Defense Minister and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz effectively put an end to his long-troubled coalition with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the Likud on Tuesday night.
In a strongly worded speech, Gantz said that his party will vote in support of a non-confidence bill sponsored by Opposition leader Yair Lapid on Wednesday, which would disperse the Knesset and lead to elections.

Israel's government is set to fall. Here's how it got there and what happens next

Unfortunately for Netanyahu- and Trump- Iran did not immediately fly into military fury at the cold-blooded murder of one of its leading intelligentsia.
An American attack on Iran has long been urged by the racist, Netanyahu, and the assassination was the most recent in a series of illegal and degenerate killings perpetrated against Iranians by both Izrael and the United States. Such a war is still possible, before Trump's ass hits the Rose Garden lawn, but very difficult if Iran does not provide the excuse. Now the fall of Netanyahu's government makes further warmongering even more difficult- but that does not mean that both Netanyahu and Trump will not dare to cause further chaos on their way out. Fascists thrive on war.
However, the world will breath a sigh of relief if these two monsters and their cohorts can be contained until their power is stripped from them. The fall of Izrael's government is very good news for sane men and women.
