Anyone who thinks that appointing Herzog to anything to help Israel’s image is a far greater threat to Israel than Egyptian Pres. Al Sisi will ever be. I have far more in common with the Egyptian President and his view of the world than whatever village idiot thinks that Herzog has any political usefulness whatsoever. Three cheers for the Egyptian President and his version of diplomatic processes.
yeh, that “reported” plan is a great idea – would also be a great solution if it were to be agreed on (not that I think that will happen…)
the trend seems to hold – that is all one can say. Bennett = next FM (or better PM hopefully although not the case right now…)
That’s still a long way off for the elections, and polls in Israel change very much (even in the last week before the elections). Catch your bear before you sell its skin.
