reheated chicken

Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has been playing chicken with PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the government recently, and so far Ben Gvir has won every time, as Netanyahu blinked first every time, understandably to avoid the collapse of the government. Every time he caved and gave Ben Gvir what was demanded.

Not everyone likes reheated chicken though. In the current standoff, Ben Gvir and his party members skipped the session today in protest demanding more money for the office of the periphery. So far the standoff is holding strong. Ben Gvir and his people stayed away and Opposition proposals won their votes. Coalition heads and members are angry at Ben Gvir and saying he wont get another agora, and if he doesnt like it maybe it is time for him to collapse the government.

This is the same story every couple of days between Ben Gvir and the government. Reheated chicken, and nobody is a fan of that.

  1. Time for Bibi to drop Ben Gvir and bring Gantz into the coalition (if Gantz would be prepared to play ball, having been badly burnt last time they played together - according to his kindergarten teacher, Bibi doesn't always play nicely with others).

    1. You think Bibi wouldn't do that in a second if he could?
