Netanyahu is running for reelection by saying there is “one state” between the river and the sea in which Jews and Arabs work together. He’s solidifying the apartheid reality under the nose of the Biden administration, which says pointedly that it won’t be undertaking negotiations because Israeli Palestinian trust is at a “nadir”.

Israel watchers are predicting a government openly committed to one “Jewish” state between river and sea, with no interest in allowing even a shadow of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. Indeed, the Israeli “center” and “left” are shattered, and the possibility exists that the Labor party that founded the state will disappear from the parliament in the next election.

As Israel prepares for its fourth Knesset election in four years, Dr. Reem Khamis-Dakwar discusses how Zionist parties on the so-called “left” and right are attempting to attract Palestinian voters, who she says says have the status of pets within Israel’s political system, “domesticated in the service of Zionist parties in the Knesset.”

Longtime Tel Aviv mayor Ron Huldai has formed a new political party – “The Israelis” – to finally take down Netanyahu. But Netanyahu has one card up his sleeve — the coronavirus vaccine.

Benny Gantz is the “liberal” white knight who was going to save Israel from Netanyahu, by becoming “alternate Prime Minister.” He has been outfoxed again and again and now Israel appears headed to a fourth election in two years with Gantz’s party polling at a miserable six seats and a politician to Netanyahu’s right threatening to become the “Just not Netanyahu” candidate.
