The political drama: The Bennett-Lapid-Abbas government has lost its majority in the Knesset and is nearing the end of its path, after coalition chairwoman Idit Silman announced this morning (Wednesday) that she is withdrawing from the coalition due to deep ideological differences with the government's left-wing components.

According to a report by Amit Segal, early this morning, Idit Silman finished drafting her resignation letter and went to bed. Months of pressure at the synagogue, from members, and stomach aches, ended with the decision to leave. Religious Zionist Chairman Bezalel Smotrich does not deny in an interview with Reshet B that he was a co-creator of Idit Silman's resignation letter. "I will not talk about the political moves on the radio," he said. In a letter she sent to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Silman wrote: "You know what tremendous efforts I have invested in preserving the coalition and in advancing my roles as coalition chair and chair of the Knesset Health Committee. How much I tried to preserve unity, find common ground, and in this way bring to full expression the important tasks that lay before us. "Some of our partners, who hold key positions in the coalition, apparently see things differently and are not prepared for any compromise on their part on issues that are at the core of the worldview of the public that elected us and brought us to the Israeli Knesset," she added. According to her, "core values in my worldview are not in line with the current reality. I am attentive to the voices from the field and the sincere protest of the electorate whose support we won and whose votes we were elected with, as well as to the pain of those who did not elect us but belong to the national camp. I cannot bear the harm to the values and flags that are an essence and a right." She informed him: "In light of the above, I hereby inform you of the termination of my membership in the coalition." She added: "I call on you and the rest of my friends: We need to admit the truth, we tried. The time has come to recalculate the course. To try and establish a national, Jewish, Zionist government. Let's join hands and bring to light the values for which we were elected and which represent the majority of the people.".
