Israel will held New Elections after Netanyahu's failure to form Government

Many Israeli deputies who circulated on Wednesday as unbelievers and grieved in the Knesset in Jerusalem would agree with Albert Einstein when he ruled that "politics is the art of looking for problems, find them, make a false diagnosis and then apply the wrong remedies." This is the only way to explain one of the most surrealist days of the Parliament that ended up voting, without enthusiasm and without really knowing the reason, its dissolution only a month after its festive constitution. The unexpected failure of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form his fourth consecutive government will lead Israel to hold two elections in six months for the first time in its history.

With the electoral threat growing as the clock went towards midnight that marked the end of the given term, the Likud leader tried unsuccessfully and until the last second deactivated the mine (Avigdor Lieberman and ultra-Orthodox recruitment law) and He even offered the Defense and Justice portfolios to the Labor party. The option of a unit executive with the centrist party Blue and White (with 35 deputies as the Likud) of a Chamber with 11 parties does not exist because its leader Benny Gantz conditions it to the exit of Netanyahu to be imputed, after hearing, by alleged corruption.

Without the five seats of the rightist party Israel Beitenu led by Lieberman and with an antireligious agenda, Netanyahu has only the support of 60 the 120 deputies. Completely erasing the euphoria of the night of April 9 in which he celebrated what he called "impressive victory", the leader of the Likud has failed in the mission commissioned by President Reuven Rivlin 42 days ago.

From the first moment Netanyahu suspected that Lieberman was going to avoid the formation of his Government "for personal revenge" using as a pretext the law of recruitment of ultra-Orthodox youths. The electoral campaign for the appointment of September 17 has already begun. While the Likud accuses him of "betraying the vote of his constituents by frustrating a government of the right" and predicts a great victory, Lieberman affirms: "Unfortunately, Israel will hold elections again due to the refusal of the Likud not to accept our proposal on the This is a surrender of the Likud to the ultra-Orthodox, we are natural partners of a right-wing government but not of a Halaja Government (Jewish religious law). "

It is one of the worst nights of Netanyahu, considered "the magician" of Israeli politics. "His only consolation is the majority achieved to dissolve the Knesset and prevent Rivlin from entrusting the composition of the government to centrist party leader Benny Gantz. In any case, the head of the army did not have enough soldiers in the Knesset to reach the desired and necessary 61 votes.
