Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Israel’s Naftali Bennett loses majority after MP quits coalition | Israel | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Idit Silman’s departure amid row over Passover bread leaves PM with same number of seats as opposition Quote A key member of Naftali Bennett’s Yamina party has quit the Israeli coalition government after a row about unleavened bread during Passover, in a surprise move that leaves the prime minister without a parliamentary majority. Idit Silman’s announcement left Bennett’s coalition, an alliance of parties ranging from the Jewish right and Israeli doves to an Arab Muslim party, with 60 seats – the same as the opposition. “I tried the path of unity. I worked a lot for this coalition,” Silman, a religious conservative who served as coalition chairperson, said in a statement. “Sadly, I cannot take part in harming the Jewish identity of Israel.” On Monday, Silman lashed out at the health minister, Nitzan Horowitz, after he instructed hospitals to allow leavened bread products into their facilities during the upcoming Passover holiday, in line with a recent supreme court ruling reversing years of prohibition.

CayceG Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 My Israeli tanker friend is very vocal about the radical religious conservatives in Israel's government being the worst part of the country. I'll bet he is livid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 Israel’s coalition on brink of collapse after losing settler law vote | Israel | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Nationalist party New Hope threatens to exit arrangement after vote on West Bank settlers Quote Israel’s coalition government is teetering on the brink of collapse after a dramatic Knesset showdown over legislation to extend legal protections for settlers in the occupied West Bank. In what was variously described by Israeli media as “one of the most surreal votes in Israeli history” and “political suicide”, the first reading of a bill renewing civilian legal rights for Jewish settlers in the West Bank failed to pass on Monday night. Members of the Knesset had to weigh up their positions on both the bill, and whether it was more important to strengthen or weaken the ideologically diverse coalition, which recently lost its razor-thin majority. Elements of the government opposed to the bill were cajoled into voting in favour over fears that failing to pass it could help bring down the coalition that ousted long-time prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, just under a year ago.
