Whatever the reasons and context, this is self-immolation. Stupid. We just had two elections in less than six months in Israel. It was rough, and the results of the second election are not exactly palatable, but we won’t have a third election because we don’t want a third election. There’s no need to pass any act over that. We can have a new election every day before breakfast, if it pleases us, and it doesn’t, so we don’t.
