Ma’ariv survey: Likud collapsing, coalition taking a dive  

Feb 24, 2023

A survey conducted by the Panels Politics Institute, under the direction of Dr. Menachem Lazar, and published in Ma’ariv, found that if Knesset elections were held today, the coalition parties would receive only 55 seats, while the opposition would get 65.

Yesh Atid would become the largest party with 27 seats, while the Likud would drop to just 26. The biggest beneficiary of the Likud’s shrinking would be the National Unity party led by Benny Gantz, Gideon Sa’ar and Gadi Eisenkot, which according to the survey, would increase to 19 seats.

The rest of the results: Shas – 10, United Torah Judaism (UTJ) – 7, Otzma Yehudit – 7, Labor – 5, Hadash – Ta’al – 5, Religious Zionism Party – 5, Yisrael Beytenu – 5 Meretz – 4.

by Jonathan Schanzer, Newsweek,  February 23, 2023

Middle East watcher Dan Byman declares: “The odds of a third intifada are higher than they have been in years.”

Tehran is betting on Russia  

Iran in a race against time to acquire military power in all its forms so long as Moscow needs it.

By  Salem AlKetbi, ISRAEL HAYOM

For years, the world reduced the real and potential threat from Iran to its nuclear and missile programs. But the Iranian project, which was once narrowed to the ideological and sectarian aspect, has reached a more dangerous level that affects not only regional peace and security, but also the global level. The role played by Iranian drones in the war in Ukraine was not the first of its kind.

Iranian behavior is not a flash in the pan; this is just the tip of an iceberg that has become a global headache. This week, the media reported that Iran is in the process of modifying and developing its drones to inflict maximum damage on Ukrainian infrastructure.

China’s Ukraine World Power Play  

Can Biden and Putin be dumb enough to let Xi pull off a coup?

The PRC’s interests in the Ukraine war are complicated.<

China would like to weaken America, Europe and NATO. A Russian win would help bolster China’s plans for Taiwan. But, China also wants access to Ukraine’s resources instead of having them dominated by Russia.

The war has dragged on long enough that it seems likely neither side will win, so the time is ripe for China to try and assert its own agenda.

To do that, China has to play all sides which is what it’s been doing since this war began. But the Communist dictatorship is also launching a world power ‘play’. Xi believes that the war, a conflict between the two existing world powers, is an excellent moment to show that China is superior to both.

Knesset, effect Judicial Reform and defeat the Rule of Law Mafia  

In a democracy, key officials stand for election at relatively short intervals, accountable to the people.

In Israel, the legislature is not sovereign to legislate, and the executive lacks actual control to execute the instructions of the legislature. The judiciary has established itself as superior to all other branches of the government; intimating that it knows better what the country needs than the people and their elected representatives.

Through almost five decades of Israel’s existence, the courts did not have the authority or the jurisdiction to invalidate a law of the Knesset.
