You simply cannot make up the absolute insanity unfolding in Israeli politics right now. The good news??? The political left is literally digging its own grave!

After three years of war, enormous sacrifice, and an election that left neither political bloc with a governing majority, Israel has an obvious option, that a majority of the people want: a broad national unity government.

The parliamentary numbers are there, especially for those who have pushed the whole campaign message of the imperative for Israel to solve the Ultra-Orthodox IDF draft issue.

Eizenkot, together with Bennett, Lapid, and Liberman, could sit down and negotiate a national unity government with Netanyahu focused on Israel’s security, economy, and national challenges, right now.

Yet that isn’t happening.

Why?

Because the hatred of Netanyahu and the political right, has become so enormous that even a national unity government is beyond reach. Even if/when Netanyahu receives the mandate to form a government after Eisenkot fails, the political deadlock will continue.

Why? Because Netanyahu will offer Eisenkot, Bennett, Lapid, and Liberman the opportunity to form a broad unity government, either all together or with any combination of them. But given their repeated refusals to serve under Netanyahu, there is little reason to believe they would accept, even if Netanyahu made every effort to reach an agreement.

Bottom line, the possibility of Eizenkot succeeding to put together a government is almost impossible, as well as in joining Netanyahu to form a government.

So here comes the extraordinary political twist: Israel probably will end up holding another election, despite the vast majority of Israelis not wanting it or even understanding why it’s needed.

And for the right-wing camp, that possibility raises a fascinating opportunity. Many right-wing voters who decided to voted for Bennett, Liberman, or other parties primarily because of the ultra-Orthodox draft issue only to discover now that those parties are giving up on precisely that issue, will run back to the right-wing parties.

Nobody knows exactly how another election will unfold. But it would force every opposition party to answer a very uncomfortable question: How can they justify campaigning against dependence on the anti-Israel Arab parties and promising to prioritize the ultra-Orthodox draft, only to dump those very election promises in order to topple Netanyahu?

And that will make the next election campaign very different from the last one, pushing many disappointed voters back to the right-wing parties, the only parties that understand the danger of our jihadist enemy, whether they hold Israeli citizenship or not.

And there is another extraordinary issue that deserves national attention.

Israeli security authorities are investigating allegations of illegal foreign funding and interference connected to the massive voting in the Arab sector. These are serious allegations that should worry everyone. Yet Eizenkot, Bennet, Lapid and Liberman are totally ignoring this issue, that literally is a destruction of our democracy. That is insane.

Foreign governments allegedly illegally financed Arab voting. Tons of videos and eyewitness testimony exists proving illegal activities at many Arab polling stations.

Yet the opposition party leaders are quiet, the mainstream media are burying the story, and the Attorney General is forbidding the intelligence services to question Arab MKs and their aides allegedly connected to the fraud.

That is the real story: a deeply entrenched, left-leaning establishment, backed by powerful unelected judicial officials and a supportive mainstream media, fighting to preserve its influence and obstruct the right-wing, religious, and Jewish national awakening transforming the State of Israel.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu remains prime minister, Eisenkot is struggling to assemble a coalition, and the possibility of another election hangs over the country.

Ultimately, lies and hypocrisy are being exposed for more people to wake up to what is really going on.

We have endured far greater challenges than a coalition crisis led by a driven hatred for Netanyahu and the right-wing.

After 2,000 years, the Jewish people are once again sovereign in our ancestral homeland. Our future cannot be reduced to the political careers and rivalries of individual leaders.

Whatever happens next, we must remain strong, demand integrity from our institutions, and strengthen our faith.

These are extraordinary times in Jewish history.

Our national destiny is greater than our political divisions.

Strengthen your faith, we will overcome our challenges and continue our positive trajectory in fulfilling our destiny as sovereign in our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland.

Am Yisrael Chai!!!
