Smart move! According to the Jerusalem Post , the first priority will be "replacing the Tal Law with a historic, just and equal solution to integrating the haredim into army service". And Netanyahu will be able to do so without fear of the effect it would have for Shas to leave the coalition!

Go, Bibi!

I sounds like Kadima Chairman Shaul Mofaz knew his party would lose a lot of seats and power and gave in to Netanyahu to keep from being voted out.

Does this mean Israel is leaning more conservative?

In surprise deal, Israeli leader cancels election

Looks like he called somebody’s bluff.

[Lazamataz]

Other governments are weird. They can suddenly call for and suddenly cancel elections; they can collapse because another party took parliment; it’s all so odd.

Who is a “haredim” and why are they not not integrated into the armed forces?

I wondered, perhaps, if the feces was nearing collision with the rotating oscillating air circulator a bit sooner than we thought.

Could it be that Bibi is moving up the timetable for taking out Iran???

[caww]

Well that was an excellent move on BiBi’s part...wow...might be Iran issue is in play moreso than not.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Israel often forms unity governments just before major conflicts, so this may be the prelude to the fugue with Iran, which a lot of estimates now say may be in June.

Benjamin all the way! Benjamin, we have some hard work to do before you quit.
