Likud whip Miki Zohar: We re on our way to opposition
Zohar s remarks follow Likud s defeat over the Knesset Arrangements Committee, as Benjamin Netanyahu s coalition talks stall.
At the first session of the Knesset Arrangements Committee last night, committee chairperson Miki Zohar (Likud) said, We realize that we re on the way to opposition. The Leader of the Opposition will be Benjamin Netanyahu. Was this a threat against Likud s right-wing partners, particularly against Religious Zionist party leader Bezalel Smotrich, to induce him to remove his ban on forming a coalition supported by Ra am (United Arab List), led by Mansour Abbas, or a prediction that Zohar s Likud colleagues share? This morning, Netanyahu has 14 days left in which to try to form a government, and Zohar s comment accurately reflects the current situation on the ground.

While Trump previously bragged about using Saudi Arabia to further its interests, Netanyahu and his right-wing coalition are taking full advantage of the Trump administration.
The three months between the presidential election and the incoming president’s inauguration in the U.S. are known as the lame duck period. Generally, no important policies are implemented unless they are related to matters of national security. However, the Donald Trump era seems to be an exception to this rule in that the Trump administration has taken important actions with respect to the interests of the Zionist regime and the ruling coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu. The forced normalization of relations between the Israeli regime and handpicked nations such as the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and, most recently, Morocco is the most significant of these efforts.
