With the budget passed, the coalition is no longer showing as unified a front in the Knesset as it did before.

Ra'am doesn't think their leaving the coalition would affect a change in Israeli policy towards Gaza.

Rumor has it that Netanyahu is planning to offer Gantz a very sweet deal.

The initiative lacked the necessary support within the coalition-in-formation, and comes on the heels of Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid's announcement of his ability to form the next government.

Like Ariel Sharon, Naftali Bennett lied and cheated his voters, but technically, what he did didn't break the rules of Israeli democracy.

Netanyahu is right where he wants to be, with a choice of coalition partners to pick from.

All pending legislation have been pushed off for a week after the coalition partners couldn't agree on MK Dudi Amsalem’s initiative.

As we watch Netanyahu buckle under the power of the Israeli Left which controls the media and the Supreme Court, it seems obvious that those who predicted Leftist policies from the Likud were correct.
