The bill is actually meant as a statement of intent from coalition members to the right of Netanyahu, and as a means of scoring points with their own electorate and rock the boat a bit, but not too hard. For balance, the provoacteurs and Netanyahu rely both on their own coalition partners – Livni’s Hatnua and Lapid’s Yesh Atid – and on opposition parties like Meretz to stop the boat from capsizing. Presenting themselves as patriotic victims of back-stabbing lefties is surely more profitable than provoking the prime minister to intervene. This is the role from which Meretz is finally bowing out.

The bill won’t pass anyway, with Meretz or without them. Nevertheless, it’s refreshing to see someone calling the bluff and putting Netanyahu into yet another corner.
