Mr Netanyahu is also currently on trial for alleged bribery, fraud and breach of trust - charges he fiercely denies. His possible partners in a Likud-led coalition government have said they would reform the law, in a move which would bring a halt to his trial. In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterfrog Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I would be more concerned if there was questions about fairness, but it looks like it was a legitimate election and this is the will of the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palestinians will never be citizens in meaningful numbers and I get the logic as to why. That means they have chosen to be an apartheid state.
