Zionist Union is about to cease to exist :
Herzogs weeks of agonizing over whether to join the government have badly undermined his party colleagues faith in him. Hes a dead horse, one said on Tuesday. This latest move has turned him into a leader without a party. He has no idea what fire hell come under at the next faction meeting.
MK Miki Rosenthal (Labor), a vocal opponent of joining the government, assailed Herzog in similar terms on his Facebook page. Herzogs holding a fire sale, he wrote. Hes willing to crawl into Netanyahus government almost unconditionally.
The legitimacy hes given Netanyahus government has to a large extent undermined our ability to criticize it in the future, Rosenthal added. Who will believe us?
Only one Zionist Union MK, Eitan Broshi, has publicly expressed willingness to join the government, and at least 14 (including all five Hatnuah MKs) are adamantly opposed.

It wasnt long ago that Herzog said that no decent person would enter Netanyahus government. It would be interesting to know how he perceives himself today.
