The results of the last elections (17 September, 2019) in Israel indicate\nthat the people of Israel voted with great maturity forcing the two big\npolitical parties to consult among them in order to find common and acceptable\npositions by creating a government of national unity with aim to solve most of\nthe problems that Israel is facing as a society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the second time since the first elections in April, which the previously elected multi-winner in Israel elections Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fails to succeed he and the political coalition that is leading to gain self-reliance to form a government. Perhaps the fact that it is threatened with a referral to justice for corruption maybe affected a part of the electorate that is partly moving in the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, during the pro-election period, held before April in which the\nfirst elections took place in April, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\nattempted to exploit the religious and nationalist ideological polarization in\norder to increase its electorate rates and perhaps this in itself is a major\ncause that saw the electorate rates of his party (Likud) coming to a\nlower-second position compared to the percentages of the first Blue and White\nparty led by Benny Gantz, which  neither Blue\nand White party wins self-reliance in order to form his own government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the ballot box in the last elections, and always based on the\nseats it won, was the party of Yisrael Beiteinu of Avigdor Lieberman as a\npost-election regulator. This political party insists on the composition of a\nGovernment of national unity consisting of the three parties, namely the Blue\nand White, Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the formation of this Government of national unity has taken place and\nsince all three parties together possess 73 of the 120-total law-maker seats of\nthe Israeli Parliament (Knesset), the extreme right-wing nationalist and\ngenerally the extreme elements of the Israeli political stage are immediately\nmarginalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The election messages<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, the people of Israel with their vote in the last elections\nshowed that they want a change and renewal in the country’s government by\ngiving a marginal majority in the Blue and White party of Benny Gantz without\ngiving the coveted self-reliance of the political coalition who is leading,\nperhaps because they fear what this change will entail, but giving Benny Gantz\nthe opportunity to control the developments in the composition of the new\ngovernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the Israeli voters bring the Benjamin Netanyahu party (Likud) second, perhaps because they wanted to punish him for any scandals he is involved or because they were tired and wanted a new course from the administration of their state, but also acknowledging the great his offer to his homeland from the Prime Minister’s post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Likud’s second position and the non-self-reliance of the\nright-wing political coalition are both “punishing” and a recognition\nof the great political and administrative experience-value of Benjamin\nNetanyahu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time the message of the Israeli voters, based on the results of\nthe last elections, clearly tells the leaders of the two big parties “Find\nthem among yourselves for the good of the fatherland” and form a\ngovernment of national unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only in this way a majority percentage of the Israeli people will be able\nto see that their desires and interests are satisfied by wanting their new\ngovernment at the same time to show in some issue\u2019s moderation rather than\nabsolutism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that in one instance of the formation of a national unity\ngovernment, the Arab Left Party will become the main opposition, possessing an\ninstitutional position in the Israeli Parliament is very likely to force the\nnew government to look with more understanding the problems of Israeli citizens\nof Arab descent which begin and end in their non-complete integration into\nIsraeli society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, whoever from the two main political opponents, Benny Gantz and Benjamin Netanyahu, tries in some way or through a blame game of his political rival to lead the country to a third election, he is very likely to be punished by the electorate.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
