Why not form a government in Israel?

In the Knesset, which has 120 seats in Israel, the coalition governments have always been formed for the last 70 years since no political party has single-handedly won a majority of 61 seats.

The power jumble in Israel, named for the world's defense technology, is tangled up. In the last 6 months, elections have been held six times but the government is not formed. Benjamin Netanyahu, who has the honor of being the Prime Minister for three consecutive years in the last 3 years, or even the opposition coalition that challenged him, has not reached the magic figure to form the government. Whether it is India or Israel, politics is ultimately politics.

Israel also has a system of democratic government governed by people like India, but Israel has a different system than India. We represent representatives of the political parties in the Lok Sabha elected by the people, while in Israel the people vote for the political party and on the basis of the votes received, the political parties get representation in the Parliament (Knesset). For example, if a party gets 5 percent of the vote, then we get 5 seats and then we get 5 seats on a 5 percent basis.

In order for a party to reach the Knesset, it is necessary to get 8.5% of the total votes cast. In Israel, elections are held every 4 years, but if the government loses confidence or the Knesset decides to dissolve the majority, there is re-election. Israel's Knesset also has a total of six seats, the majority of which is a magical number of 5 to form a government.

One thing to know about Israel is that not a single political party has won a single seat majority in the last 3 years, so coalition or support governments have always been formed. This support has also been made by the government of Israel, who thinks that the country can flourish if it thinks it is selfish. However, there has never been a situation that has arisen in Israeli politics for the past six months.

On December 7, PM Benjamin Netanyahu announced the election to be held two years before his term was over. He has been Israel's prime minister for three years, after Netanyahu won his first election in the 5th. He has held the post of Prime Minister since winning again in the 5th. Benjamin Netanyahu is the second-longest ruling leader after Israel's founder, David Ben Gurion.

The world, including the United States, was watching Netanyahu's Likud Party results. Netanyahu himself was expected to be re-elected on the basis of his popularity and performance, but the results of the election held on April 7 came to fruition. Former Israeli army chief Benny Grantz challenges Netanyahu's Likud party. General Benny Grantz, who had the impression of being clean and honest, had formed a royal party called Israel Resilience just last December.

Not only did Beni join his party in the month of February, six months before the election, but he also challenged Netanyahu in the election field by forming a blue and white coalition with political parties, namely Telm and Yesh Atid. Post-election surveys revealed Israel's southern leader Netanyahu's horse in the van, but the situation inside was a bit different.

In addition to the challenge of opposition leader Benny Grantz, the Attorney General has granted permission to prosecute Netanyahu in six corruption cases. Since Netanyahu knew this situation, he focused exclusively on nationalism, right-wing and Palestinian opposition. Netanyahu sought the cooperation of the most radical Jewish party leader Michael Ben-Ari. The United States does not grant Michael Ben-Ari a visa to come to his country.

He also aligned with a notorious Jewish power party to instigate violence against Palestinians. Netanyahu has good relations with US President Donald Trump. Coincidentally, Trump also indirectly helped Netanyahu by declaring that the Golan Heights were part of Israel. The Golan Heights were occupied by Syria in Israel 1. Israel declared its legal right over Israel, but was not recognized by the international community.

The remains of Zachary Bommel, a highly-regarded Israeli soldier who was killed in Syria six years ago, were discovered with the help of Russia. The funeral rites of this soldier's remains were performed in the presence of Benjamin Netanyahu. The program was aired on Israel's national channel. It was hoped that this would help Netanyahu on election day. However, Netanyahu told the media that Israel sought Russia's help three years ago for this special task.

The polls held on April 7, saw an average voter turnout of 8.5 percent, with Netanyahu's Liquid Party 2 and the Blue and White Coalition winning 7 seats. Despite the support of the right-wing parties, Netanyahu failed to prove a majority, dissolving parliament with a majority and re-election.

This led to a turnout in September of 100,000 voters in Israel with a population of 1 million. Different groups of social, religious and tribes also play a role in the election. The number of Orthodox Jews of European descent is 2 lakh, which is believed to be Rabbi's advice for voting. The number of Arabs in Israel is 5 percent, which is equal to 5 percent of the vote share.

Voting in Israel is always held on Tuesdays. The national identity card has to be shown at the polling station. Representatives of at least 3 political parties examine the identity of the voter. The voter is then given a cover in which the slip voter with the symbol of the party of his choice puts the ballot in the Secret Ballet box and then the counting begins.

For the second time in September, Beni Gatz's moderate and Blue and White won two out of 5 seats, while Likudparti, from Netanyahu's southpaw, got 5 seats. After the election, the President invites the leader of the largest party to form a government. The party leader has 7 days to prove the majority, while the President may also allow an additional 7 days. If that fails, another coalition has a chance.

Netanyahu's Likud party is considered to be the hottest right-wing party ever, but this time Netanyahu or middle-class Benny Getz is no match. The right-wing parties and the opposition, who are trying for a majority, could not go beyond the three seats, which is less than the magic number of 1.

There was talk of a consensus government at one time but Benny Gatz is not ready to sit in a government that has Netanyahu. True, not a single party gets a clear majority in Israel's multilateral electoral system, but if a party cannot form a coalition government, the third election in Israel's one year is going on.
