Israel Governing Coalition Cancel Foreign Visits for Fear of Govt's Downfall

Although the leaders of the  Israeli government coalition in Israel are broadcasting optimistic news about regaining the 61 seats they lost early last month, when the head of the coalition blocs, Idit Silman, defected and joined the opposition, political sources in Tel Aviv revealed that the Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, and the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Yair Lapid, and Defense Minister, Benny Gantz, canceled all their programs to travel abroad during this period, in anticipation of the government's downfall.

Bennett canceled a scheduled visit to India and the United States of America (USA).

Also, Lapid canceled a slated visit to Hungary and Gantz canceled a scheduled visit to India, and many other visits planned by Lapid in particular, whom the opposition accuses of, that he is managing Israeli relations abroad through Zoom applications, have been frozen.

According to a right-wing opposition activist, "Corona still dominates Lapid's agenda."
