Despite the political turmoil, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister Gadi Eisenkot have been working effectively together, each from their own sphere, according to author Daniel Roth Avneri. Their teams are reportedly coordinating, and Avneri suggests that following the October 28th elections, they may find themselves forming a government together, contrary to some public perceptions.
Avneri posits that after the events of October 7th and the subsequent national challenges, the natural progression should be a national unity government. He emphasizes the importance of overcoming political differences and working collaboratively, as the true enemy lies outside. The author highlights Netanyahu and Eisenkot's recent collaboration as a prime example of this approach.
The article also touches on a seemingly minor initiative by Mayor Yaki Ben Haim of Migdal HaEmek, who has implemented a "cleanliness" policy. Avneri views this as a significant step towards reclaiming public spaces from digital intrusion and pollution, suggesting it could inspire other mayors to adopt similar modern, environmentally conscious policies. He contrasts this proactive approach with the common Israeli tendency to postpone action with excuses like "after the holidays."
Avneri shares a personal anecdote about decluttering his winter wardrobe, revealing an obsession with black golf shirts, pink socks, and thick scarves. He sets a one-year deadline to either wear these items or discard them, further illustrating his point about timely action rather than procrastination.
