Two MKs entered this government a year ago, one is doing whatever he pleases and extorting budgets, the other is struggling with pressure from home and is constantly debating whether to be or not to stop. One is called Mazen Ghanaim, his government is a prisoner, the other is called Nir Orbach, he is a prisoner of the government. Ghanaim and Orbach clashed this week after the Judea and Samaria regulations fell in the plenum Nir Auerbach was furious, Ghanaim smiled.
The story of Ghanaim and Auerbach
The coalition was furious with Ghanaim who overthrew the Judea and Samaria Regulations Act and immediately called for his and Zoabi’s resignation, but the pleas and briefings of the cabinet members to resign are embarrassing. It does not work that way, the decision is only in their hands, Their spirit.
In the second coalition crisis this week, the vote to raise the minimum wage again, members of the RAAM voted in favor, “I care about the poor,” Walid Taha said as he left the hall smiling, their coalition, and while Orbach and his friends were debating – they were dancing for both weddings. The budget tap, because they do not put out a fire with diesel, as in the story of the plantations in the Negev, they learned from Bennett and Lapid that in this government, they will give, they will not give.
Did Auerbach learn the message? Not sure, even before he makes the fateful decision whether to be or cease, he says in closed conversations that a government with RAAM is still preferable in his eyes, just not a 61 government. A rosy future. His big problem is that if one of the members of RAAM or Meretz dismantles the business, his chances of armor in the Likud or in religious Zionism will collapse.
Both know, both Auerbach and Ghanaim, the first to shoot and make sure of killing the coalition will also eliminate his friend’s political future, meanwhile both are not firing and the Knesset is not functioning.
Orbach jumps on Ghanaians after opposing a vote on Judea and Samaria regulations:
Gideon Saar’s Depression
Justice Minister Gideon Saar is at a low ebb. His flagship laws were buried, this week he again did not pass the blocking percentage in the polls and the whole country watched how he failed to pass the Judea and Samaria regulations this week. , Saar does not seem to be even trying to reach a proper compromise.
If all this is not enough, in the fourth half of the coalition members voted against his request in the law raising the minimum wage, meanwhile he attacks the Likud and is attacked from home, “Assault in panic, his judgment is wrong” say coalition officials. In both cases it seems that in a new hope they climbed a tree too high. Both attacking the Likud and attacking members of the coalition, on the right, estimate that Saar will eventually sit with Netanyahu in an alternative government, if members of his faction want a political future.
