Tel-Chai Nation

2 writers at the Jerusalem Post make the case for why Blue & White's obsession with bringing down Benjamin Netanyahu is very unhealthy, and is leading them into some very dark political directions:

Unfortunately, this outcome is no longer just a theoretical scenario. Despite Gantz’s preelection statements that he would not form a government with the Joint List, or alternatively a government that would be reliant on outside support, his desire to end Netanyahu’s era is seemingly leading Blue and White’s chairman into dark political districts.

Thus, if Gantz decides to establish a government with the support of the Joint list, not only will he mislead his electorate, but he will endanger the security of the Jewish state. In essence, in a situation in which Gantz’s government’s existence depends on the votes of the Joint List’s MKs, which include figures who deny the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state (some of them even openly supported Palestinian terrorism), its prime minister, Gantz, might execute crucial decisions that would not be beneficial for Israel’s security interest.

In that dreadful scenario, prime minister Gantz would constantly face the dilemma between safeguarding Israel’s security interests (such as assault in the Gaza Strip in response to rocket fire and preventing improved weapon-transfers to Hezbollah from Iran) and its own government’s political survival.

It is mandatory to note that the problem is not with Arab society, but with its current extreme political leadership in the Knesset. [...]

That's why it's a terrible shame so many Israeli Arabs voted almost entirely for such a repellent party, which is hell-bent on Israel's destruction from within. Now we have a party with 15 people that's posing a serious problem in parliament.

In conclusion, the establishment of a central-left government led by Gantz with the outside support of the Joint List would be an act of national irresponsibility by Blue and White’s leadership. To prevent such a catastrophic situation, the leaders of the Zionist parties from all across the political spectrum must demonstrate national and political responsibility.

Israel needs a national-unity government headed by Likud and Blue and White, one that is able to lead the Jewish state in the face of the enormous challenges facing it, both domestically and externally. Forming a minority government with the support of the Joint List will definitely obtain just the opposite.

The problem is that Gantz and company are still being very irresponsible, and putting their selfish "aspirations" above concern for issues like the Coronavirus, which has all but led to a standstill in public life. If Gantz, who remains untested as a politician, and Moshe Yaalon, won't cut out that selfish act, even they're not fit to serve in a government. Neither for that matter is Avigdor Liberman.
