The opportunity in Israel¹s political crisis

Published: 24 May 2016

Last updated: 4 March 2024

The opportunity in Israel’s political crisis – Naomi Chazan – The Times of Israel 23.05.16
Netanyahu’s latest political move may be yet another step in the rapid deterioration of the Israeli polity or, to the contrary, the beginning of a turning point that will halt its dive into a dark abyss.

And see:

End of Israeli coalition talks shouldn't spell end for peace - Carolina Landsmann – Haaretz 20.05.16
If PM Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Isaac Herzog were on the verge of forging a historic opportunity to advance regional peace, isn't that opportunity still on the table?

Tony Blair: Arab states will normalize ties with Israel if Netanyahu agrees to negotiate with Palestinians – Barak Ravid – Haaretz 24.05.16
Former British prime minister, who tried to bring Zionist Union into Netanyahu's coalition, sees Arab countries ready for warmer ties if Israeli-Palestinian negotiations were underway.

Is new defense minister dangerous for Israel? – Ben Caspit – Al-Monitor 23.05.16
Some in the Israeli military are panicked over Avigdor Liberman heading the Defence Ministry, but despite his reputation, Liberman is neither stupid nor crazy. ‘Liberman will surprise everyone and be a prudent, reasoned defense minister — one that is responsible, not tempestuous.’
