Netanyahu has already tried to do what the opposition is afraid of | Dan Perry

Dan Perry argues that the Israeli opposition must break its promise not to rely on the Arab parties in order to form an alternative government and replace Benjamin Netanyahu. According to him, the leaders of the Arab parties have already made clear that they are willing to externally support a minority government, without demanding portfolios, and their demands are reasonable – concerning crime in Arab society and the Palestinian issue. Perry notes that the opposition also promised to replace Netanyahu, and that it is impossible to keep both promises together. He compares the dilemma to historical examples of broken political promises, and states that keeping the 'idiotic' promise will pave the way for Netanyahu to remain in power, whom he describes as responsible for the October 7 disaster, as someone who blocks an investigation, harms democracy, and sanctifies division. The article concludes with a call for the opposition to stop being clever and sabotaging itself.
