She's right, but...

but even with Smotritch they wont prevent the deal from happening - the Opposition has given a security blanket to the government for this deal to happen. Unless Bibi backs down out of fear for his coalition post-deal, the deal is going through. Netanyahu warned Ben Gvir that he is working on paying Smotritch off to not leave with a nice incentive package of benefits. Netanyahu cant really back down at this point - it means going against Trump and this time everyone will see at this stage that Netanyahu is playing politics on the backs of the hostages - something everyone already knows from the past year+ but now it being more obvious and will surely lead to massive protests and pressure on Netanyahu, and that is without even mentioning Netanyahu is afraid to oppose Trump who wants this deal to happen - there, I mentioned it. But, if they truly believe the deal is as dangerous as they are saying they should resign even if it wont prevent the deal from going through, at least so they wont be part of it (and no, voting against does not absolve them of responsibility - they are part of all government decisions as long as they are members of the government) As I said, Netanyahu should push this deal through and call elections on his terms.
