Edith Silman’s resounding retirement also shocked the coalition partners who worked closely with her, the heads of the factions with whom she would strengthen the fragile coalition for ten months. Yesterday, the acting chairman of the coalition, MK Boaz Toporovsky, convened the heads of the coalition factions for a first and stormy meeting, and intriguing details from it reached Kippah News.
“Silman is excited about what happened but she is scared of the move and not happy about it”
The former partners who showed up are MKs Auerbach, Toporovsky, Ram Shefa, Rosin and Suva. One of those present analyzed the chances that Silman would regret it and attacked the retiree: Toporovsky added: “We must not stop here, we must continue to work together so that we can continue to do good for the country and its citizens.”
The plan of the faction leaders after Silman’s retirement
During the meeting, the chairmen questioned Nir Orbach and tried to understand the intensity of Silman’s retirement and discuss how to prepare for the complex summer session in which they will suffer from a lack of a majority. Understanding among faction leaders how much Silman can be trusted.
It should be noted that there are flagship laws on the table that are all in danger, laws that have each shaken the coalition in the past. Another question that remains open is who will fill Silman’s place as chairman of the coalition, and whether Gush Lapid will enjoy the position or whether the position will continue to remain among the right-wing parties.
