Rabbi Yoav Andy: Stop being the middle and start being the center

Rabbi Yoav Andy calls for the establishment of a stable political center in Israel, as opposed to the 'middle' that moves according to the extremes. He criticizes Netanyahu for inconsistency in integrating Arabs, and argues that a vision for the future is needed, not just fixing the past.

Rabbi Yoav Andy, head of the leadership academy in Hanton, publishes an opinion piece calling for the establishment of a stable political center in Israel, as opposed to the 'middle' that moves according to the extremes. He criticizes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his inconsistency regarding the integration of Israeli Arabs, noting that Netanyahu can 'one day bring them into the government, and the next day call them terrorists.' Andy argues that a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 disaster is necessary but insufficient, and that a political vision based on military achievements is needed. The article emphasizes the need for leadership that sets a clear future picture, integrates Arabs who identify with the Jewish and democratic state, and stops managing the conflict.
