The leftist government that Yamina’s Bennett and Shaked are about to form will not be able to oppose the Biden administration’s policies on Iran because most of its cabinet ministers support those policies.

There is little point at this stage of the game to mention the depths of moral depravity and treachery into which Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked have descended. Now, as the two self-proclaimed “leaders” of the ideological Right defect from the nationalist camp and form a leftist government supported by pro-Hamas Arab parties, the time has come to discuss the strategic and national consequences of their actions.
The place to begin the discussion is by noting that ministers that support the Biden administration’s Middle East policies will hold an absolute majority in the leftist government Bennett and Shaked are now intent on forming.
The Biden administration’s commitment to returning the US to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran leads only in one direction. Biden’s Iran policy guarantees that Iran will achieve its goals of regional hegemony and membership in the nuclear club.
The 2015 deal facilitates Iran’s return to the global market and provides billions of dollars in cash payments to the regime in the form of sanctions relief and reparations. With these funds and lines of credit, the regime in Tehran will deepen its control over Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Iran will expand its war against Saudi Arabia while compelling the Gulf States and Jordan to bend to its will. The Khomeinist regime will then turn its sights on Egypt and work to oust the Sisi government and replace it with the Muslim Brotherhood.
As for Iran’s program to develop a nuclear arsenal, the 2015 deal lifts all limitations on Iran’s nuclear activities by 2030 and legitimizes Iran’s nuclear weapons program. In other words, Iran will develop a nuclear arsenal and will declare itself a nuclear power sometime between now and 2030.
The administration’s claim that it will negotiate a “longer and stronger” nuclear deal with Iran after it returns the US to the 2015 deal that paves the way for Iran to become a nuclear-armed regional hegemon is completely unfounded. Iran will have no interest in negotiating anything further. And so it won’t.
The leftist government that Bennett and Shaked are about to form will not be able to oppose Biden’s policies because most of its cabinet ministers support those policies. And this spells the demise of the Abraham Accords. The rationale for those peace deals is Arab faith in Israel’s willingness to confront Iran even in defiance of the US Once that is gone, the Abraham Accords will be dead in the water.
The leftist government that Bennett and Shaked are now forming will guarantee that the Palestinian Authority will complete its seizure of Area C, endangering Israel’s strategic interests and imperiling its communities in Judea and Samaria. Most of the members of the government object to any steps to secure Israel’s rights and strategic interests in the areas. Not only are they themselves ideologically committed to undermining Israel’s rights in Judea and Samaria. They will never dare to defy the Biden administration, which supports Palestinian land theft.
Under the leftist government, Hamas will rebuild its military capabilities in a matter of months. With the economic and political support from the Biden administration, the EU and the UN, Hamas will be able to import all the building materials and other dual use products it requires without limitations. Any chance that Israel will object to this state of affairs will dissipate with the formation of the government. Here too, a majority of the cabinet members support the US plan to “rebuild Gaza” for “humanitarian” reasons.
And if Hamas – as can be expected – renews its campaign against Israel, the government will not dare to fight back because it will be dependent on the support of the Muslim Brotherhood-aligned United Arab List to survive. The UAL will bring down the government if it even thinks about lifting a finger to protect Israel against Hamas.
Beyond the diplomatic and military catastrophe that the leftist government will foment, there’s also the issue of Israeli democracy. A large majority of the ministers in the leftist government now being formed support eternalizing the legal fraternity’s seizure of power over the Knesset and the government.
The radical justices of the Supreme Court and attorneys in the Attorney General’s office and state prosecution will exercise unchallenged authority over all aspects of public life. All chance of restoring the powers of Israel’s elected leaders and returning sovereignty to the people will disappear the minute this government is sworn into office.
It doesn’t matter what “Prime Minister” Bennett and his chorus of “advisers,” say in defense of their betrayal of their voters, their political camp, and their word of honor. The facts are what they are. Bennett, Shaked, and their lackeys are poised to form the most radical and weakest government Israel has ever known. You don’t need to be a prophet to understand the consequences of their actions.

@ adamdalgliesh:
BTW, how is your aliyah process going?
Have they quit torturing you yet?
@ Bear Klein:
Such tales as these should cool the most incensed of political furors. This is the vile stock and trade of modern politics when the marketplace of ideas fails to impress, their is always the great deity of Violence that may prove the point that reason and debate could not provide for. It should not be tolerated with Bennett, Shaked, Bibi, their families or any man, women or child in any civilized society. Such tactics should carry harsh penalties as should pursuing mendacious legal claims to give cover towards political saboteurs – it is all the same move towards lawless savagery and none of it should be advocated for or tolerated by any of us. We are not yet Syria or Libya. Not yet.
Bennett is acting according to what he believes is best for the country. He is certainly not doing what is politically wise. If the coalition does not come to fruition and work decently he will be toast politically and knows it! Hell he is getting death threats already!!
That is just the opposite of what Bibi is doing!!
I agree with Glick.

@ Bear Klein:
Listen video of former Media Advisor to Bibi who knows Bibi and all the players.
She says Bibi hates anyone who is talented who is capable of replacing him. She trusts Bennett and is optimistic about him leading a unity government!!

Seems to me that Israel will only prosper and succeed when we have a P.M. who is close to Torah. ( the last canditate was Meir Kahane H’yd.). Maybe the next canditate is the Mashiach.
@ Bear Klein:
I agree.
Glick’s analysis is brilliant. Unfortunately, everything she says is true.
One reason that I became religious in my old age is that I realized that Israel’s ruling elites are treasonous and that no foreign government, including that of the United States, is inclined to protect israel. This leaves God as the only possible source of help for Israel as it faces wealthy and well armed enemies determined to destroy it.
I like Glick.
However, this is a hysterical reaction to something she does not agree with! She is entitled to her view. Why can Bennett not oppose US Iran policy. He has done so over and over.
Fifth election would make Israel even weaker! Trying to make a government instead of running to elections is a logical choice. It may not work but as long as Bibi heads the Likud there will be no right-wing government. That has been proven in four elections. Time for change!
