With an election expected within a week, polls indicate a deadlock between the two major blocs, suggesting no single bloc can form a stable government. The author, Ephraim Ganor, argues that another election would only worsen Israel's fractured state and calls for a strong, unifying government.
Ganor suggests that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he identifies as the core of the crisis, were to step down, the situation would be different. However, Netanyahu appears determined to remain in power.
To rescue the country, Ganor proposes a bold move: if the opposition bloc secures a majority in the Knesset, it must initiate a significant action to unite all opposition voices into a single bloc, explicitly including Arab parties. He believes the ends justify the means in this scenario.
With Netanyahu out of the picture, Ganor envisions the opposition bloc forming a coalition that could include the Likud party, creating a national rescue government. This government would exclude Netanyahu, Arab parties, and the ultra-Orthodox, but would offer a new horizon and hope for Israel.
