Olam Hafuch Raiti

The deal being worked on (or maybe arrived at by now) is strange and seems counter-intuitive. MK Netanyahu (Likud) decided to oppose the law proposal for the dispersal of the Knesset today due to being unsatisified with some of the legislation being pushed through at the last minute, including the law proposal to prevent someone indicted from running for Prime Minister.

The Coalition heads seem to have decided to make a deal to scrap the law proposal about someone indicted running for PM in exchange for support for the dispersal of the Knesset.

So, the coalition that should theoretically want to continue for longer is  fighting for dispersal, while the Opposition that should want the dispersal sooner is fighting for the government to stay on longer. The coalition that has wanted to pass a law to prevent someone indicted from running for PM is willing to give that up in exchange for faster dispersal of the Knesset.

As the Talmud says, Olam Hafuch Ra'iti - an upside down world I have seen...
