likelihood, Netanyahu government will collapse soon

Sources close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu estimated that the differences within the government coalition would deepen, and perhaps its collapse, in the next session of the Knesset, against the backdrop of divisions over some internal and external political issues, especially with regard to the Palestinians.


According to Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, the issue of transferring armor, equipment, and weapons to the Palestinian Authority increased the state of rift within the Israeli government, despite Netanyahu’s denial of transferring any weapons or equipment, and that only 8 armored vehicles were transferred. The decision to transfer them was taken during the previous government, which in turn denied that.


According to the newspaper, this issue is part of other controversial issues, including the evacuation of settlement outposts, the conditions of Palestinian prisoners, cooperation with the Palestinian Authority, dealing with Hezbollah’s provocations, and other issues.


Those around Netanyahu estimate that the coalition will not last for a long time, while a prominent member of it said that the government will collapse due to the extremism of Ben Gvir and Smotrich, and we need a miracle so that the coalition can survive until the end of the Knesset’s winter conference.


The sources attacked Ben Gvir and Smotrich's actions, and their public criticism of the government's and Netanyahu's policies, indicating that the government will find difficulties in continuing in this manner until the end of its specified term.
