Bennett: 'Israel' stands before true test, gov't close to collapse

• 

The Israeli occupation's prime minister, Naftali Bennett, said on Friday that "Israel" stands before a true test, and that his government is close to collapse, standing at a historical crossroads, accusing Benjamin Netanyahu and the opposition he leads of spreading poison and chaos.

Bennett, in a missive he published on social media, said that the ancient kingdoms of "Israel" had been destroyed twice before because of internal conflict: the first, 80 years after its establishment, and the second, 77 years after, adding that "Israel" is now in its third era, drawing closer to its eighth decade. He went on to say that everyone stands before a true test of whether or not they will be able to preserve "Israel".

He noted that one year ago, "Israel" "came to one of the most difficult moments it has ever known," amid chaos, endless election spins, government paralysis, and the cities of "Lod [al-Ledd] and Acre [Akka] burning in the face of a humiliated and conflicted government," referring to the Palestinian protests that took place amid the battle of Seif Al-Quds last year.

The Israeli PM further noted that "Israel" was in a state of weakness amid the battle of Seif Al-Quds, and was trapped in “the worship of one man and the enslavement of the state’s energy to his legal needs,” referring to then-Israeli PM Netanyahu.

Bennett further added that the Israeli occupation stood days away from a "fifth election cycle that would have taken the country apart," and took the most difficult decision "in my life" to form a government that would "save 'Israel' from the chaos and have it function again."

In occupied Palestine, 69% of Jews are worried about the destiny of the so-called "state", and 67% say that action with weapons and the enforcement of penalties should be used to "avoid confrontations between Jews and Arabs." This is the result of a poll conducted against the backdrop of the operations taking place in "Israel" and the anniversary of the Seif Al-Quds Battle. 

Another report by Israeli journalist Noam Dvir for Israel Hayom revealed that Israelis are "concerned by societal rifts" and the "rising cost of living", according to a poll by the "Pnima movement", which is working on addressing the rifts in Israeli society.

According to the report, around one-third of Israelis (35%) said the occupation is not treating "bereaved families" properly, adding that 60% of Israelis aged 29 and under were of that opinion.

"Israel's" former Minister of Internal Security, Avigdor Kahalani, said on April 30 that he fears the fate of "Israel" after one generation, adding that "internal problems will destroy it."
