Bibi Netanyahu and his extremist cabinet
Benjamin Netanyahu has been rushed to hospital with chest pains. Obviously one hopes he will recover well but perhaps while resting in a hospital bed he will have time to ponder on the disaster of a government he and his extremist cabinet have been running. Israel is more divided than ever. There is no hope of a two-state peaceful solution with the Palestinians while this cabinet is in charge, there are many more housing settlements going up to further reduce any chance of living peacably with a Palestinian state and Netanyahu is pushing ahead with his plan to emasculate the supreme court and take on more power for himself. Israel is a democracy but democracy as we know it is teetering on the edge. And it's all because the only way Netanyahu won the last election was because he teamed up with the most extreme politicians who want nothing to do with Palestine or Palestinians. The United States is Israel's greatest and most powerful backer. The two country's military are hand-in-glove. But if Netanyahu carries on the way he is right now there is going to be an almighty bust-up with Joe Biden, and if relations between WEashington and Tel Aviv seriously deteriorate that will be bad for Israel and bad for the whole Middle East balance of power.
