Netanyahu delays formation of new Israeli cabinet as final sticking points remain

The BBs (and Allies) are Scared - that Their Coalition Won't Last So they prepare for the next elections... which may take place soon after the Delayed "Purim Spiel" Show with its "Iron Dome" in the Nut-Bag (=TLV Airport). So expect this government --which rejects peace-- to collapse in a big bang. It is clear for you to see that "BB King is Naked", and his "clothes" are but imaginary. So, although the "Partners" hadn't sign the Coalition Agreement -- "No Future"-"No Jewish Home"-and-"Booby Trapping (מילכוד) Israel" announced that they do not Trust the Israeli Voters.

WE NEED A NEW ELECTION --THAT OUR PEOPLE DECIDE ON OUR MAJOR ISSUES -AND NOT A BUNCH OF POLITICIAN --

This is to avoid of having too many splinter parties with their own contrived ideologies. Many Western countries have thresholds between 5% and 10%.

A wonderful idea. This will help reform the system by stopping miniscule groups seizing inordinate amounts of power

why people continue saying Israel is a democratic state?

It's a Jewish win-win! The truth is this smacks of even more APARTHEID POLICIES for Israel and LESS DEMOCRACY. -And that's what it's really all about in the Jewish body politic. They don't want democracy if it is sullied by even the smallest percentage of non-Jewish political representation. Get used to the term APARTHEID. It fits and it will stick to Israel like a swastika on a Nazi.

How tragically ironic that an otherwise good move, raising the threshold, may make yet another manifestation of Jewish-Palestinian cooperation and comity extinct---naemly the Hadash party. A way should be found to preserve it for the sake of its make-up if not its programme.
