May 24, 2021   

9 days until the end of Lapid's mandate: The Boycott Bloc is considering passing a law to dissolve the Knesset, if they fail to form a government - in order to prevent the mandate from reaching the Knesset. What are your chances of winning a duplex? And why is your dream closer than ever? Sweet, savory, for a picnic or to make with kids? A special variety of recipes According to a report in Kan News, MK Isawi Frij from Meretz has already submitted a proposal to dissolve the Knesset, in coordination with Yair Lapid. The report stated that the initiative will be advanced if in the final days of Lapid's mandate it becomes clear that there is no possibility of forming a left-wing government. The goal is to prevent the transfer of the mandate to the Knesset for a period of 21 days, during which Netanyahu can try to form a right-wing government under his leadership. And also to scare the factions that fear a fifth election, so that they will move in his direction. According to a report on Channel 12, emissaries on behalf of Lapid even approached Netanyahu's people and offered them support for the proposal to dissolve the Knesset - on the grounds that this would allow a more convenient destination for the elections for both parties to be chosen, but the Likud does not intend to support this - and the intention there is to try to form a government, which seems hopeless. Yamina Party Chairman MK Naftali Bennett said today at a faction meeting that the possibility of a government being formed under his leadership with The far-left parties are not on the table - for now. "The Likud's proposal for a proper party," he said of the proposal submitted by the Likud to Bennett. "But the problem is that with us, too, the Likud does not have a government. The possibility of a government of opponents of Netanyahu has been dropped for now." In the meantime, the Yesh Atid chairman is continuing his efforts to form a government: by the end of the week, he is expected to reach agreements with the center-left parties - a total of 45 seats. Kan News reported that the chairman of New Hope, Gideon Sa'ar, made it clear that he will not join Lapid's government without Bennett. On the other hand, Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett is continuing negotiations with the Likud, and he is considering closing an agreement on Netanyahu, even without a government. Lapid said today at the beginning of his faction meeting that he believes that Naftali Bennett made a mistake when he stopped negotiations to form a coalition with Yesh Atid and noted that he will work to reverse it. "I hope he will retract it. This is something that sometimes happens in political life. It may also sometimes change the opening conditions," Lapid said. He noted that "while we are here, in Kfar Maccabiah, our negotiating teams are sitting and trying to form the government of change. The chances are not high, but as long as there is a chance, even the smallest one, we will turn over every stone to form a government.".
