1. Most of Caroline’s comments are spot on, but the closing remarks about getting Lieberman back into the regime is based on conjecture that this would stabilize the government somehow. Of course, we all know that building a government in Israel is like a visit to the bazaar – everybody bargains for the best deal they can get while making sure that there are enough loopholes to jump through that they cannot really be called upon to deliver. This is no different from the current composition of the government where the so-called extreme right religious parties make up the needed members to gain a majority in the Knesset. They love to have their finger on the scale and so will anyone else that joins in. Having people who can break the government because they want something or other is a very difficult way to rule a country. Lieberman would only join with his seats in the Knesset if he can get a/the top job like defense minister and that, at the expense of either the Likud or those aforementioned so-called extreme right religious parties.
   While I would love to see a more stable government in Israel not being driven by the US deep state, anyone who actually joins the government should be doing so the promote the needs of the country rather than their own private benefit.
   The final point to consider is that the Israeli Supreme Court would love to have another lever to try to get rid of this pesky Netanyahu and as far as I remember, there is actually no party in Israel outside of the current government who would want to reform the justice system.

2. The last few days have been excellent for Israel.
   And that must be reflected up and down the line.
   Hit hard and often.

3. Congratulations to the IDF, on taking out Ismail Haniyeh. It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person, nor in a more deserving country. 🙂
