This is fantastic news! After months of political deadlock Benjamin Netanyahu will remain the Prime Minister of Israel. This is a huge win for Israel, and a huge defeat for the Left. Israel will now be able to extend Israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley, after the Coronavirus is defeated. Am Yisrael Chai!
The unity government with @gantzbe is excellent news, especially the part about Blue&White breaking up and @bogie_yaalon, @AvigdorLiberman and @yairlapid being left out in the cold. There are problems, obviously with the arrangement. But we should see the Trump plan implemented.

Trump phones Netanyahu to congratulate him that he’ll form, head next government
Leaders also discuss steps needed to manage coronavirus pandemic; call comes day after Benny Gantz indicates he will enter unity government with PM
US President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday to congratulate him that he’ll be forming Israel’s next government, the Prime Minister’s Office said.
The call came a day after Netanyahu closed in on a unity government with rival Benny Gantz.
“The president of the United States telephoned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and congratulated him that he will form and head the next government,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
“During the conversation, which was warm and friendly, the leaders discussed the various steps needed to deal with the spread of the coronavirus pandemic,” the statement said.
The White House said in a statement that Trump and Netanyahu “discussed the latest developments on the coronavirus pandemic, and the president thanked the prime minister for his strong action to stop its spread.”
“The two leaders agreed to cooperate closely to combat the virus and minimize its global impact,” The White House statement said, without mentioning the premiership.
As things formally stand, it is Gantz who has been charged by President Reuven Rivlin with forming Israel’s next government, having been recommended as prime minister by 61 MKs. But the anticipated unity deal would see Netanyahu stay on as prime minister for the next 18 months, at which point he would hand over to Gantz, in a “rotation” deal that many observers believe will not play out.
Since the March 2 election, in which Netanyahu’s Likud party won the most seats but his right-wing bloc fell three seats shy of forming a majority coalition, only Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz had phoned the premier to offer congratulations.
After elections in April 2019, which Netanyahu initially appeared to have won but ultimately proved unable to form a coalition, Trump called the Likud leader the next day from Air Force One with congratulations.

What’s Israel going to do when Netanyahu retires? The old guard who fought in the ’73’ Yom Kippur War are all but gone.

Why-oh-why are conservative governments called ‘right wing’ and liberal governments (aka socialist) called ‘progressive’?
Why are conservative governments considered evil while liberal governments considered so wonderful. Remember, many a leftist government end up being dictatorships. The National Workers Socialist Party (Nazi) was a socialist leftist party.

This is excellent news for Trump. We know that Bibi is his best friend and will do whatever he can to assist his election. More than the Jordan Valley should be annexed. All of Judea and Samara should be annexed as well along with a declaration that the settlement of these lands by Christians from Syria, Iraq and Lebanon will be encouraged.

Canada may break up on its own. Canadians in Alberta and the West of Canada believe they are being left out of things by the power brokers in the East, so Eastern Canada regulates what they can do, prevents them from building pipelines to market their oil, then excessively taxes them.I haven’t heard much talk about it lately, but there was a lot of talk about it after the election. People would like the Canadian confederation to break up and Alberta to join up with the US. People think they’d be better off, although after watching shenanigans in Washington over the last few days, they may have changed their minds. Hopefully America can bounce back after this pandemic is over. It can’t be too soon.
