It does look like Gantz shall form the next government. Wonder what kind of implication to the peace process in that region? Oh boy, are you sitting down? Here is the latest update ... It’s either Bibi is assigned the PM position again (because he is the only one capable of forming a government) or ... it’s back for another round in voting again ... and ... it’s up to Gantz and Peretz to decide. :wacko: GellerReport.com Caroline Glick I need to point out a basic fact about the election results which the US media, in particular, is missing. Benjamin Netanyahu – did not lose and Benny Gantz didn’t win. Gantz cannot form a government under any circumstances. He cannot build a majority coalition. By forming a unified political bloc of 55 Knesset members with the Likud’s satellite parties, Netanyahu has created a situation where he is the only possible prime minister. Either the Blue and White Party — or one of its factions — joins him, or Amir Peretz and Orly Levy bring the Labor party in, or Israel goes to new elections. Those are the only options. In other words, it’s either going to be Netanyahu or elections. It’s up to Gantz, and Peretz. I’ll say more. The balance of power is still very much on the Right. The Right has 55 seats. The Left has 44. Liberman is nothing but a Bibi hater. And the Arab parties are so extreme that they cannot be considered for any governing coalition. Lest anyone be tempted by the Washington Post’s attempt to claim Israel is racist because Israelis don’t want to share power with the Arab parties, the fact is that there is not one Arab party that accepts Israel’s right to exist. There were Arab politicians elected yesterday that have written odes to terrorist murderers on the Facebook pages. Arab lawmakers were elected that have met with terror kingpins. Arab lawmakers routinely support the Palestinian war against Israel and express support for Hamas. The deadlock in Israel is electoral, not ideological. Liberman’s defection from the Right has denied it a governing majority. But it is still very much the majority in Israel. And the vast majority of Jewish lawmakers in the Knesset support applying Israeli law over the Jordan Valley as Netanyahu suggested. A large majority (55-44) of Jewish lawmakers also support applying Israeli law to other parts of Judea and Samaria. Netanyahu is the only person capable of forming a government. It remains to be seen if that will happen, but Gantz cannot form a government. And he is slowly coming to terms with this unalterable reality. - Fair Use- And then there is this from Savedat33 on the Harpazo board ... I guess its wait and see how this truly unfolds ... :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn (Just passing out the popcorn ... I think we all really need it ... hold the butter ... this is Cracker Jacks ... the good stuff. :yes: ) It’s not up to Netanyahu. It appears Netanyahu might have painted himself into a corner by alienating people on both the left and right. And there will not be third elections - Netanyahu will be out as PM before that happens. This was Bibi’s one “do over” to try and get a solid right wing government and that’s not happening because the Yamina party whom he was counting on led by Ayelet Shaked has just split back into two parties the New Right and Jewish Home. Netanyahu (mainly his wife) has an issue with Ayelet Shaked and so Bibi has a huge battle up hill because even if the Right agrees to back Netanyahu he’s still only at 55 seats. B/W have 57 and Lieberman’s ‘favor’. If I were the betting sort, I’d hedge my bets for a unity government and against Netanyahu ever enjoying a singular PMship - if he should even be named PM - again. For your reading: We’ll find out on Sunday who President Rivlin taps to form a government. Caroline Glick is a part of the New Right headed by Ayelet Shaked. And while she is a very good author, she writes opinion pieces and not articles rooted in situational facts. Her assertion of back to elections is not an option anyone wants. If Netanyahu called for elections again, he would surely lose. Because it would look (and it kinda did this last time) that he is fishing for an election result to keep him in power and his priority is himself and not Israel. Perception is everything in politics. And as for Israel’s ‘government’ changing, remember it is God who establishes the authorities on Earth: 1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God. 2Consequently, the one who resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. If Netanyahu’s time is over and it is “time” to form a unity government - it is because it is “time” according to God for it to change. We know Israel accepts the antichrist. We know Israel makes a covenant with death. We know Israel accepts a “peace” agreement. We know God deals with Israel corporally. We know that the true King of Israel is the Lord Jesus and these things will happen as it leads the way for the King to return and redeem His People, Israel. So, if it’s time, it’s time. And not for nothing, all of this means we are almost out of here, woohoo! - Fair Use- Gantz used to be the Chief of Generals Staff of IDF. He knows how to articulate a war to Israel's gain. May be God sees him a better fit to lead Israel in the upcoming war. There could be a union between Gantz and Liberman. Breaking News Announcement The JerusalemPost 9/20/19 The office of Blue and White chairman, LTG (res.) Benny Gantz received a request from the United States Embassy to schedule a meeting with Jason Greenblatt, the US Special Envoy to the Middle East, during his visit in the region. An update will be issued separately once the date of the meeting has been determined. - Fair Use- ————- Hmmm ... what can it be? Perhaps the peace plan rollout & 3rd Temple? :unsure: Benny Gantz quote about why Herod's temple was taken down: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/266955 something will happen, someone will be in authority, at the time for the 3rd temple to be built. its interesting, how at Israel elections there is talk about who a "kingmaker" is or could be. they don't remember Deut 17:14-20 Whoever gets to form a government in Israel this time, that leader may be the person who is involved with green lighting a temple and acceptance of the covenant with death God remembers. He knows who the rightful King is! Revelation 5:11-13 New Living Translation (NLT) “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— “Blessing and honor and glory and power Revelation 11:15 New American Standard Bible (NASB) “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.” According to the Haaretz newspaper today ...Gantz must persuade the Arab Party to join his coalition to form a government or ... Bibi will be back. Haaretz Analysis Israel Election Results: Arab Party Must Recommend Gantz, or Netanyahu Will Be Back The Joint List’s first aim, its slogan, was to oust Netanyahu. But at the moment, unless it recommends Gantz – subject to a list of justified demands, of course – that won’t happen. Netanyahu has 55 MKs willing to recommend him, whereas without the support of the Joint List’s MKs, Gantz will be left with only 44. The ball will find its way back into Netanyahu’s court. - Fair Use- It makes me think of the Muslims plan to take down America by infiltrating our government. Hmmm ... did anyone see this update? - Fair Use- Just read this article ... of a possible rotating PM .... LOL talk about topsy-turvy government this will be :wacko: .... I can just see them blaming each other when things go very wrong! Netanyahu, Gantz in unity talks; may rotate as Israel PM JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his rival Benny Gantz launched negotiations on Monday over a proposed Israeli unity government and a key politician said the focus was on who would lead it first under a rotation deal. President Reuven Rivlin, tasked with picking a candidate best-placed to try to form the next governing coalition, has spoken in favor of unity and, on Monday, summoned Netanyahu and Gantz for closed-door talks. Gantz met earlier with Avigdor Lieberman, a political free agent and likely kingmaker thanks to his eight seats in parliament. “Happily, the two big parties have internalized the pressing necessity of setting up a unity government with a rotating premiership,” Lieberman said on Facebook. Concluding their meeting at Rivlin’s Jerusalem office, Netanyahu and Gantz issued a joint statement saying they had discussed “moving forward with unity”. It did not elaborate. “The entire argument right now is over the question of who will serve first as prime minister, and who second,” said Lieberman. Such a rotation has a precedent in the 1984-88 unity government of left-leaning Shimon Peres and right-winger Yitzhak Shamir, who took turns as prime minister. If a power-sharing deal is forged, it could be imperative for Netanyahu to serve as prime minister first should he seek to avoid prosecution. - Fair Use-
It is not racist for Israelis not to want Hamas supporters and champions of terrorist murderers in the Israeli government or receiving security briefings from the military and intelligence services. It is rational.
11 Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders. 12 And they sang in a mighty chorus:
to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.”
