Israel's month-old government is fighting uphill battles every week in the Knesset, fending off filibusters that have forced Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and his Cabinet to spend full nights each week in legislative sessions.The new government still appears very unstable because its constituent parties hold opposing views on many issues, making it difficult to muster a majority on politically sensitive votes.
The showdowns between Bennett and Netanyahu have continued. On Monday, they engaged in dueling speeches — each rising three times to respond to the other over the course of more than an hour.A poll published Monday by Channel 12 showed an even split: 45% of voters are satisfied with the new government, while 45% are not.
But just 14% of respondents said Bennett was most qualified to be prime minister versus 40% for Netanyahu and 24% for Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.
