No doubt the Arabs exist amongst us and we have the capacity to meet part way with their cdemands .Ofcoarse they cannot accept this and so a time of Quiet needs to be demanded.The issues are a Jewish Presence in a NATO Force in the Jordan Valley and the number of jihadi and Fatah Ba'ath who cannot be trusted to enter the Holy land .The current Demographic balance needs to be maintained even if a solid autonomy is held for Arabic East Jerusalem.

Before the election he was the new boy, good looks, famous tv host, promised all things to all people and of course wage a crusade against the haredi. The leftists who didn't trust Shelly thought Lapid was just what the doctor ordered. Now Lapid is damaged goods, he passed a very unpopular budge, all he ever does is blog in Facbookt and people are bored with his promises. Leftst seem to be willing to give Herzog a chance and he will take Lapid votes. The right are not going to turn to Lapid. who needs time to try repair his image or his party will head into extinction like Kadima. If Bibi can get enough seats to form a coalition Bennet has said he is willing to work with Shas. If Bibi is forced to hold an election doesn't matter if he or Herzog win Lapids days as the rising star will be over because he has alienated his supporters

Indeed it is, and she should be one of the first to be kicked out of it.

as i was expecting, that this coalition days are numbered, i believe that once the talks with the PA collapse. Lapid will leave the coalition and perhaps he will take with him Livni, because Livni will find it difficult to stay in a narrow right wing government with Bennett and the Haredim, Bennett was a stupid when he made his alliance with Lapid, Lapid took the government to the left, he is a dictator, he prevented Bibi from appointing Likud ministers as he wants, if Lapid hadnt joined the coalition, Bibi would ve been able to appoint Danny Dannon, Hotevaly, and Elkin, which can enhance the national camp inside the government, also when Bibi waited too much for Bennett to join him and ignore Lapid, he was forced to go to Livni and offer her the control over the peace talks and the Justice ministry, and till now as we see , the draft problem is still unsolved, there is no any middle ground between Lapid and Bennett, so on what bases they made their alliance ??!!!
