Amid failure of negotiations between the Blue & White
Party and Likud Party, the Jewish State is preparing for an
unprecedented fourth round of elections within two years.
Israel is now on the verge of the fourth round of elections
after talks between both the Blue & White Party and Likud Party
continue to fall through. And with Blue & White’s leader,
Defense Minister and Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz, being
unable to obtain enough votes within his own party to approve the
delay of the dissolution of the Knesset until December 31st, he has
given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a list of his
requirements.
However, it’s reported that Gantz does not expect Netanyahu to
comply.
As reported by�i24
News, in response to Gantz’ requirements, the Likud
Party released a statement voicing, “Instead of allowing for a
stable government that serves its citizens, Gantz continues to
cling to the idea of ‘government within government’ in a failed
attempt to garner votes for his disintegrating party.â€
With where the law stands as of now, Parliament is set to
dissolve itself at midnight between December 22nd and December
23rd, with the fourth round of elections coming in March of
2021.
Gantz frustrated most of his base months ago when he broke one
of his primary campaign promises, which was to never form a
coalition government with PM Netanyahu while he was under criminal
investigation. Gantz ultimately made the decision that was supposed
to result in him obtaining the premiership in October of 2021 –
an event that could very well change course if the fourth round of
elections does take place.
It is reported that Gantz has lost a multitude of support from
his own party since becoming the alternate prime minister and could
face internal opposition in the case of a new election. It’s also
possible that PM Netanyahu will remain in office longer than
originally expected if the election goes in the Likud Party’s
favor.
