Unity government? Thanks, but no thanks: The right is not for sale

An opinion piece on Channel 14 argues that the right is not interested in a unity government with the left, and that such offers are based on the condescending assumption that the right is willing to give up its principles in exchange for Netanyahu remaining in office. The author makes clear that the right will not give up the judicial reform and curbing the judicial system.

An opinion piece on Channel 14 argues that the Israeli right is not interested in a unity government with the left-center bloc. The author, Sivan Yehezkel, describes proposals that have surfaced on social media for a unity government in which Netanyahu would remain prime minister but key portfolios such as defense, foreign affairs, and education would be handed to the left, the judicial reform would be halted, and the conscription law would be shelved. The author calls these proposals 'condescending' and claims they are based on the assumption that the right is willing to give up its principles in exchange for Netanyahu staying in office. The article clarifies that the right will not give up the reform of the judicial system, curbing the power of the High Court of Justice, ending the tenure of Gali Baharav-Miara, and changing the balance of power between the elected branch and the legal bureaucracy. The author emphasizes that the struggle is ideological, not personal around Netanyahu, and that the right does not need the left's approval to govern.
