Help me out a little. To the extent that this is a move “left”, my impression is that the movement “left” pertains to internal politics, not external issues, and don’t represent a particularly large change relative to the peace “process”, or the millenia long European fixation of telling Jews where they can and cannot live. Polite poster that I am I left out whether they can live. Am I wrong that this doesn’t represent much of a change vis a vis the palestinians, or construction in the West Bank, or Iran.
The only change that we might see is a new domestic look.
Israel's foreign policy will not change by 1 percent.
There may be more talk about peace with the Palestinians, but there will be no lasting peace until the other side(s) recognize Israel as a Jewish state and that no weapons (except for police) will be allowed in the West Bank by the PA.
I doubt that any “progress” in the piece process will occur or is intended by Lapid. He’s just saying that as a pro forma leftist demand, but his heart’s not in it. Yesh Atid will get a domestic cabinet post, redistribute some wealth, and breath a sigh of relief as Avigdor Lieberman continues to do the foreign thing, and Naftali Bennett will take over for defense. Occasionally, Yair will make some noise about piece with palis, and be ignored. He’ll be more earnest about getting Haredim drafted and cutting their social welfare benefits. This is my most optimistic guess. I’ve been disappointed before.
