New
Government - 4 Parties, 68 Members
by Isi Leibler
After six tortuous weeks of horse
trading, spins and hypocrisy,
The principal beneficiaries were Yesh Atid and Bayit
Yehudi who set aside their major political
differences and made a pact to negotiate jointly towards the formation of the
government. They succeeded and thus foiled Binyamin Netanyahu’s efforts to play
them against each other, ultimately obliging him to concede to their core
demands.
The necessary legal documents were to be
drawn up and signed on Thursday, leaving Netanyahu free to formally inform
President Shimon Peres on Saturday night - the final day of the six weeks
allocated to him - that he has mustered a Knesset majority. The coalition will
comprise four parties: Likud-Beytenu (31 seats), Yesh Atid (19), Jewish Home (12)
and Hatnua (6), for a total of 68 members in the
120-seat Knesset. Netanyahu’s Likud Beitenu holds seven portfolios including Defense which
former chief of staff Moshe Yaalon takes over from
Ehud Barak.

Karzai Spits at the US
Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel was greeted on his first visit to Afghanistan since
taking office by suicide bombs, threats and Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s
accusation that the US is colluding with the Taliban. Karzai said that those
attacks, which together killed 19 people, aided US goals and accused US of
holding peace talks with the radical Islamists and the bombs were in the
“service of America.” (Hundreds of billions of US
tax-dollars are wasted on building democracy in Afghanistan and forging a fake
alliance. Just imagine the White House ‘outrage’ if Israeli Prime Minister would
publicly announce that the US aiding and abetting, which is actually the truth,
the enemies of Israel - the best ally the US ever had!)

Barak announced his
retirement from politics before the last election, and the members of his
Atzmaut (Independence) party, which he formed when he split from the Labor
party, decided they will not be running either. (Good
Riddance! Barak’s story is a clear example of the problems the political system
of Israel has. When self-centered and psychological damaged people, who have no
national pride or sense of national integrity, take over the country has only
one way to go - into abyss!)
Additional $250 Million Given to Muslim Brotherhood
Secretary
of State John “Swiftboat” Kerry gave praise to Muslim Brotherhood led Egypt for
“their version of democracy” and released $250 million of American tax payer
money into the Islamic regime’s hands. Giving aid to Egypt and Israel is making
tensions grow stronger, fueling an arms race that could end in bloodshed. We’re
aiding the future enemy.
Israel Cleared but Hamas is not Blamed for Death of a
Baby
An errant Hamas rocket probably killed the baby son of a BBC journalist
in Gaza during the brief war between Hamas and Israel last November, according
to a UN report into the incident. (There are no
condemnations of Hamas from the ‘righteous’ anti-Semitic press and so-called
human right organizations, but the usual silence!)

Dismantled 'in Honor' of Obama
1.
The IDF has received orders to dismantle the new communities of Ramat Migron
and Oz Tzion by the beginning of next week - in preparation for the visit of US
President Barack H. Obama. The communities are in the area of Ramallah, which
Obama will be visiting on his visit to Israel. 2. Barack Obama invites Miss Israel Yityish Aynaw to
official state dinner. (Obama’s visit is nothing but
a photo opts and attempt to discourage Israel from destroying the Iranian
nuclear program! And, he has no intention to free Pollard.)
