ISRAELI PM BENNETT URGES ‘SILENT MAJORITY’ TO BACK THE GOVERNMENT

Fri 03 June 2022:

In the wake of increasing political instability, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called on the “silent majority” of Israelis to support his government.

Naftali Bennett appealed on the “silent majority” within Israeli society to save his coalition from collapse in a 27-page booklet produced by his office on the first anniversary of his cabinet.

“Almost a year later, we, all citizens of Israel, are once again facing a historic crossroads,” Bennett said.

He said the fifth round of elections was about to happen in Israel which “would dismantle the country,” adding that he took his life’s “most difficult and Zionist decision: to form a national rescue government, to rescue Israel from chaos, and return it to operation.”

“If we do not want to go backward, we must all take action. This letter is the call to action,” Bennett concluded.

Due to the failure of parties to obtain a clear majority to form a government, Israel has held four rounds of parliamentary elections since April 2019.

Bennett was able to create a coalition with eight Israeli parties in June 2021, including the Arab Ra’am party, to bring previous Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year rule to an end.
