Bennett should take a deep breath, and realize that the government must tread carefully for at least the remaining two months, during which time it still faces potential actions from Obama at the UN Security Council, which could threaten the homes of hundreds of thousands of people, rather than a few dozen. Rather than seeking to provoke a crisis, he should allow the prime minister to continue his sober and quiet attempts to find a workable solution for this particular issue-- with the recognition that he has masterfully managed to protect Israel, and refuse any territorial withdrawals, amidst the greatest international diplomatic pressure in decades. The last thing Israel needs at this moment is instability or a change of government. This is the time for reason, responsibility, and unity.
