Netanyahu and the Liquid: A Smokescreen for the Opposition

"Netanyahu is not ever solving a crisis. It's just rerolling it or repackaging it as a different kind of thing and coming back to it," he says. "He promised Ita Malbengville, by the way, that he will bring back the legislation in the next session of the Knesset." Netanyahu has been vindicated on two points: Yoni Levy told him reforms wouldn't go through 'in its current form' And more importantly, Netanyahu is paying a huge price for going forward with this legislation, writes Ben-Ghiat.
