The Israeli version of Biden. In fact theyre carbon copies of each other, and all the rightwing criticism of Lapid mirrors the stuff thrown at Biden

Both Biden and Lapid are centrists who have diagnosed their country with the same problem and are attempting to produce the same solution to it. He's the most favorite pick of the american jewish democrat

One of the theocrats/fascists, Itamar Ben Gvir, has just called for Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to be fired, and several Likud members called him a leftist.

So I'm tempted to believe its an actual break of line instead of just a show

Crucially, 45% of Likud's voters are disatisfied with this coalition, and polls indicate that the opposition would win if elections were held today.

Its a /r/LeopardsAteMyFace moment yes, but thank god some sanity among their voters is happening instead of like, doubling down on the problem like Trump or Putin supporters

Which is so bizarre, because Bibi even stated he'll think of sending weapons to Ukraine.

He wont of course, because he's a jackass, but I dont see why theres any love lost for Putin here.

yes, but the US quickly told them to break up with Israel after this incident. The Suez crisis was the last time France and Britain started acting like the superpowers they used to be, and it was a good introduction to them to the superpowers of tommorow USA and Soviet Union.

The USA then proceeded to impose an arms embargo on the entire region, including Israel. Israel then started its own military industrial complex made out of scrap metal.

Its how worldwide global names such as the Uzi came about. A humble weapon constructed in a desert out of scrap metal that won wars.
