Netanyahu gets what he wants, though it is too late to help
In the final days before the Knesset dissolved (due to lack of budget), the negotiations between Kachol Lavan and Likud to come to an arrangement to keep the Knesset coalition intact had focused largely around Avi Nissenkorn, the Minister of Justice.
While other issues were on the table, according to the news reports the main impediment was Nissenkorn in the Justice Ministry. Netanyahu wanted him out, seeing him as implementing Leftist policy and preventing Netanyahu from being involved in the selection of judges, while Gantz supported his guy and said he will not remove Nissenkorn from the Justice Ministry.
Nissenkorn has announced he is leaving Kachol Lavan and will instead join the new party to be formed by Ron Huldai (currently mayor of Tel Aviv). Reports say that, in light of that decision, tonight Gantz is going to remove Nissenkorn from the Justice Ministry.
It is a little late now to save the government, but it is ironic that now that the government has fallen and elections declared, Gantz is really giving Netanyahu what he wanted that probably could have saved the government from collapse just a week ago.

Gantz and Nissenkorn don't defend their own law proposal
The Coalition sideshow is a good comedy show.
A while back MKs Benny Gantz and Avi Nissenkorn (Kachol Lavan), before they were ministers and members of the ruling coalition of the unity government, submitted a law proposal by which a Prime Minister under indictment would be forced to resign his position.
That law proposal, presented by the Opposition, has been sitting in the system for a while, and it came to the Knesset today for a discussion regarding passage of the law.
Normally the author or authors of the proposal are meant to be available in Knesset to defend their proposal, respond to questions and attacks on it, and urge the MKs to vote for it and pass it into law.
The problem is that the authors of this proposal are now today members of good standing in the Coalition, serving in senior ministerial positions. Technically they would be defending the proposal to force their Coalition Prime Minister Netanyahu to resign the premiership. That would also put themselves out of the jobs they just got and dismantle the unity government they just formed.
So, their law proposal came to the Kensset but they didn't get up to defend it.
What a weird Knesset situation we are living through. This is going to keep us entertained for a while....
