The storm of controversy now engulfing Israel revolves around one question. What sort of government do Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett intend to swear in?

In a week of unprecedented political upheaval, it’s hard to pay attention to anything other than what is before our face. As Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked’s voters watch in shock as they betray every single thing that they claimed to stand for and form a government that gives unprecedented powers not only to post-Zionist parties but to the anti-Zionist…

In Episode 8 of the Caroline Glick Mideast News Hour, co-host Gadi Taub and I talked about the implications of the pending formation of a leftist dominated government in Israel.

It appears that under President Joe Biden, the United States is fine with Hamas, despite the fact that it is a terrorist organization. During his media appearance with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken indicated that rebuilding Hamas-controlled Gaza in the wake of Hamas’ latest assault on Israel is the most pressing issue on the agenda. Although Biden said last Thursday that relief efforts…

Maybe one day, we will discover that the impetus for Hamas’s newest onslaught against Israel wasn’t the pending Supreme Court decision about whether or not to respect the property rights of Jewish landlords in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem.

It is extremely frustrating for voters from the nationalist camp to watch the political wrangling over the upcoming elections to Israel’s presidency. The president of Israel is elected by members of Knesset and the next president will be elected on June 2.
