On this episode of Israel365’s “The Big Picture,” Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Rabbi Rafi Eis break down Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech at the swearing-in of the new Knesset. In it, Netanyahu warned against any government that relies on the 19 Arab Knesset members and urged the Haredi parties not to join Gadi Eisenkot. The two rabbis compare the moment to the Second Temple period, when Hyrcanus invited Rome into Judea to defeat his brother Aristobulus, and they say the Joint List’s walkout during Hatikvah (the national anthem) gave Eisenkot “the worst” possible opening day. Wolicki predicts that Avigdor Liberman will end up joining a coalition led by Netanyahu or that Israel will go to a second election, while Eis criticizes Eisenkot’s “national emergency government” pitch, the subject of his first Jerusalem Post op-ed. In the closing segment, both rabbis call the election of Abdul El-Sayed and Adam Hamawy to Congress more dangerous than the gains Arab parties made in the Knesset, pointing to the matching “Obama had the right approach to Iran” talking points the two men used.
