The idea of breathing life into the prospect of direct election of the prime minister had already been brought up by Interior Minister Arye Dery (Shas) in the previous election rounds. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t go along. He was aiming for a decisive win in each of the second, third and fourth times around. When that didn’t happen, he allowed his close partner – with whom he speaks on the phone for hours every day, and in tense one-on-one meetings – to run with it. To make the vision a reality.

The Jerusalem District Court on Wednesday issued a temporary restraining order against a supporter of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has verbally harassed the wife and kids of Ze’ev Elkin, a right-wing lawmaker who left the ruling Likud to join a rival party.
Videos posted to Twitter Monday showed a group of Likud activists cursing and screaming at Elkin’s wife, Maria, as she stood by herself outside her home.
“You’re a lunatic, you’re a liar, you’re a traitor,” screamed one Netanyahu supporter, later identified as Rami Ben-Yehuda.
