The right-wing threats to declare MK Idit Silman a retiree are revealed day by day as a farce. Coalition enforcement.
It is no coincidence that today she sifted through Bennett, rejecting his request for a meeting on faint excuses, Bennett currently has no effective tool with which he can get her back on track. In the current situation of the coalition, the government is already passing only bills with consent or those that the Likud can ‘swallow’. Silman did not even have to vote against the coalition, enough that she would be absent so that an important bill would not pass.
The revolt of the Ram faction makes its life especially easy. Once coalition members from the coalition violate discipline and conduct themselves independently, it can continue the double game, without the ‘right’ being able to do anything to it. And the “case” that is being prepared for it for discussion in the Knesset committee, meanwhile, remains empty. It threatens to vote against extending the emergency laws in Judea and Samaria, but even without it, the coalition does not have a majority. The appointment of Kahana as minister also does not currently have a majority, nor will a declaration of a motion of no confidence or distrust cause her to enter the plenum.
On Silman’s retirement day, Bennett decided to carry out Shikli’s retirement process, a move that would require him to run on a new list for the next Knesset. Silman manages to play the double game, and right now you can run on any list you want in the next Knesset. The threats from the right, for its secession and sophisticated moves against it, are impossible, just as this coalition looks.
