Who thinks that we can get a third call for elections? That would really be amazing. Only in Israel…
The only way out of this “Bardak” (bind) is to learn a lesson from Putin, the wiliest politician on the planet. When the constitution barred him from being reelected, he appointed a loyal lieutenant to be his caretaker Pres. – Medvov.
Bibi needs to take a short break and let some other loyal Likudnik sit in for him as PM. Then the Likud and Blue and White and the religious parties can form a strong central government without Lieberman, without the Arabs and without Meretz/Barak,
Why not? Because Bibi wants to stay out of court? As soon as he takes a break a break from being PM the press and the courts will suddenly get lonesome for him and turn him into a hero as they did with Arik Sharon.
