Israeli government coalition loses majority as another of Bennett's colleagues resigns
Idit Silman, who was serving as coalition chairwoman for Bennett/Lapid's hijacking collaboration, has resigned her government position, leaving the trojan-horse leftist coalition without a majority:
Coalition Chairwoman and Yamina MK Idit Silman has confirmed she will resign from the coalition over a dispute with Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz on the entry of leavened bread and goods known as chametz into hospitals during the Passover holiday.The government may not have fallen yet. But this is significant, and it's probably better late than never that somebody like Silman should leave. Even Times of Israel's editor David Horowitz, a leftist himself, says Bennett's doomed his coalition with the way he's handled things. We'll see what happens when the Knesset resumes operations after the holidays.
Silman has called for the establishment of a right-wing government.
In a statement Wednesday morning, Silman said, "Unfortunately, I cannot anymore. I have tried unity. As someone who comes from the world of common good, I worked very hard for the current coalition. Regrettably, I cannot lend a hand to the blow to the State of Israel's and Jewish people's Jewish identity.
"You do not know everything because I tried [to effect change] quietly. I can no longer continue on this path due to the values and the place I come from. I am halting my membership in the coalition and will continue to try and convince my friends to come home and establish a right-wing government. I know I am not the only one who feels this way. The State of Israel's Jewish identity is our right to exist here. It is our heart. It is our essence. Damage, without any consideration for the public and the values I represent, is a red line to me. Another government can be established in this Knesset."
