Maybe Israel will have a shot at not having Bibi as PM again, and get someone more moderate, and sane.

Bibi made a crazy concession to Ben Gvir to guarantee it didnt .

See : https://www.timesofisrael.com/to-okay-overhaul-delay-ben-gvir-gets-promise-for-national-guard-under-his-control/

His address to the nation last night 24 hours after he fired Gallant just made the situation worse.

Personally i think he has lost all touch with reality.

This isnt over in fact it became much more dangerous last night with Bibi's far right buddies calling
for their base to take to the streets .

See : https://www.timesofisrael.com/country-wide-demos-for-against-temporarily-halted-overhaul-end-in-clashes-with-cops/

Far-right group attacks Arabs at pro-overhaul protest, chants ‘may your village burn’

Attacks come as country-wide protests for and against overhaul end in clashes with police; 38 detained in Tel Aviv, where anti-government demonstrators blocked roads.

On a personal level we had police guarding our main gate last night after national threats to left wing
kibbutzim from the religious right .
My son thinks it was a ploy to keep the police busy and off the streets .

a rock and a hard place .

Or he backs down or the gov collapses .

He hasnt spoken yet .

Meanwhile :

Histadrut head Arnon Bar-David has announced a “historic” general strike unless Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls a halt to the judicial overhaul.

Departures have already been halted at Ben Gurion Airport.


Local authorities say they’ll join strike: ‘Israel almost at point of no return’
