Good news! PTL
Our media scum are not going to like this.
I’m glad to see this. We need a strong leader in Israel and Netanyahu is a dependable ally.
Nope they aren’t- but thankfully God is in control of who becomes leaders and who doesn’t- for His own purposes- not the press- let them wail and gnash their teeth- they are just practicing-
Gantz and some members of his Blue and White party will help Bibi form a governing bloc
['Civ buffs his nails on his shirt with an insufferable expression on his face]
Rashida Tlaib gnashing her gums in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.......
Heres what I've been informed:
-Netanyahu and Gantz are creating an emergency unity government, in a deal apparently brokered by Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.
-Gantz was just elected as Speaker of the Knesset, winning 74 votes in favor, 18 were opposed, and the rest abstained. But this is only temporary once the full agreement is finalized and signed, 'Gantz will become Foreign Minister for 18 months'.
-Netanyahu will serve as Prime Minister for 18 more months. Then, Gantz will become the Prime Minister. Its not clear at this hour what happens to Netanyahu at that point.
-Upset with this move, two of Gantzs key allies Yair Lapid and Moshe Bogie Yaalon have rejected the Gantz move...The Blue & White Party is now breaking up.
-Gantzs team are expected to get the major Cabinet portfolios, including the Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry, Justice Ministry and the Economic Ministry.
These are enormous concessions by Netanyahu and the Likud. Not clear yet: what happens when Netanyahu goes on trial.
This is awesome. As a Conservative Jew, Netanyahu is exactly the kind of leader a nation like Israel needs and that will help the US. Let’s go!
Great news!
Yes I’m glad he’s still in charge even if the balance in offical positions is questionable. I know nothing of Gantz apart from running against Bee-Bee as I’ve always been a huge Bee-Bee fan. Guess I’ll have to find out more about Gantz.
Gantz as the head of Israel Resilience said the following in defense of his decision to enter the government:
At the end of the path, I believe it is not allowed to drag Israel to a fourth election in this very difficult time when the country is dealing with the coronavirus crisis and its consequences and on that note we disagree,” he continued. “Israel comes before everything.”
I agree with him. The Jewish State comes before party and everyone had the duty to work together to overcome a major crisis. At this time, a national unity government is an existential prerogative. All other political considerations are of a purely secondary nature. The new government, Im sure - will serve Israel well.
The trial will be delayed anyway. Things are so bad Netanyahus legal problems scarcely matter at this point...
Thank you God!
Israel is stable. Only its government sucks.
Well put (the text in the graphic).
Looks like Gantz has enough pragmatist and/or patriot in him after all.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Good news, though I doubt it makes peace more likely, if he's referring to peace with the palestinian authority.
