Netanyahu is poised to form the new coalition govt


People in Mid-East used to joke around that if you leave two Zionists in a room, they will come out with three political parties. The present condition of Israeli politics is no different. No wonder that even after two weeks of elections, Israel is still to get a new government.

Israeli President Simon Peres has set six-week time to Benjamin Netanyahu, the hawkish boss of Israel’s largest right-wing party, Likud, to shape a coalition administration. Netanyahu bagged the call to form a government following the ultra-right nationalist Avigdor Lieberman – whose Yisrael Beiteinu party drubbed Olmert led Labour into fourth place – recommend Netanyahu as the next head of the government.

Netanyahu enjoys the backing of a majority of the 120 Knesset constituent but he is restless to pass up outlining an ideologically tapered right-wing administration. This would also leave Netanyahu depending on Lieberman, who has campaigned for banishing Israeli-Arabs who refuse to pledge a vow of allegiance to the state, and the ultra-orthodox Shas party.

Lieberman, a staunch secularist, is in addition expected to be at odds with Shas' religious headship over financial support for religious establishments and civil marriages. An identical alliance, formed by Netanyahu in 1996, disintegrated in little more two years after right-wing parties pulled out of the coalition, following territorial concessions to the Palestinians. “We are all conscious that a right-wing religious alliance will lead Netanyahu to pressure from the western nations. It is not at all surprising that he is gunning for a broad coalition," said Shmuel Sandler, an expert on the Israeli politics system at Bar-Ilan University, while talking to TSI.

A broader coalition will not be easy to form. The first round of talks with his main electoral rival, Tzipi Livni, the Kadima leader, and Ehud Barak, the Labour leader, has been inconclusive. Livni implied that a least condition may be Netanyahu backing down on his opposition to discussions on a two-state resolution with the moderate Palestinian headship in the West Bank. The Palestinian headship has explicitly scorned that advance. There is a genuine fear among Jews in Israel that Arabs will outnumber the Jews in few more years and that might “threaten” the “Jewish nature” of the state of Israel. Over to Netanyahu.
