The Israeli government is engaged in another struggle in the face of the opposition, today, Monday, while one of the settlers' far-right currents calls for "working to overthrow the regime."
In light of the tense atmosphere, Israel's Prime Minister Naftali Bennett made statements yesterday accusing the opposition, led by former Premier Benjamin Netanyahu, of sowing hatred and internal hostility that threatens the collapse of Israel as a state.
In a post on his accounts on social networks, Bennett said on the eve of the early celebrations of a religious feast, that “Israel is facing a real test, witnessing an unprecedented situation that is close to collapse.
He added that the Hebrew state faces a historical crossroads so the Israelis have to mention how their state disintegrated in ancient history two thousand years ago, twice, due to internal conflicts, the first when it was 80 years old, and the second when it was 77 years old.
Bennett enquirers: Will we be able to preserve our state?”
He pointed out that a year ago, Israel reached one of the most difficult moments of decadence it has ever known: chaos, endless elections, government paralysis, and the cities of Lod and Acre burning from the inside in the presence of a powerless and conflicting government, sanctifying one man and harnessing the state’s energy for his legal needs.
These statements came at a time when Bennett and the heads of eight parties in the coalition are preparing to save the government from a new parliamentary failure.
Bennett considered this language in political discourse as a curse on Israel that portends severe dangers to it.
For his part, the Israeli President, Isaac Herzog, also made similar statements against the future of Israel, and said, "We are in a very worrying situation."
The Israeli daily newspaper "Israel Hayom" had published the results of an opinion poll saying that 69 percent of Israelis feared for the fate of the "State of Israel".
