Israel toward elections

The debate surrounding the introduction of the definition of Israel as a Jewish state in the nation, with the consequent change of the fundamental law of the country, caused the fall of the government, because of the decision of Prime Minister Netanyahu to dissolve parliament and hold elections prepaid. The lively discussion on whether to give a strong connotation to the Israeli state, capable of causing discrimination against minorities, provoked lively criticism, as well as by the opposition, even from within the same government team, which resulted in the expulsion from 'Executive of the Minister of Finance and that of Justice. The path taken by Netanyahu appears that of the ultra-nationalist right, totally irreconcilable with the pressures of those who want peace with the Palestinians and the two-state solution. Putting a legal foundation to Israel as the Jewish nation, betrays the secular spirit of the country is preparing the ground for inadmissibility of the division of the Jewish territory, putting an end to international projects for the closure of the Palestinian question. That seems winning the refusing party dialogue with international diplomacy and wants, ultimately to the expulsion of the Palestinians from the territory that the ultra-Orthodox believe only the preserve of the nation Israel as a place of election of the Jewish population. We have a configuration that goes beyond Zionism and you go to found only on religion. This stance extremist in an international context is very difficult that would require greater pragmatism. The Israeli prime minister, with his decision to oust the ministers who questioned his decision showed their difficulty in managing internal conflicts on which was based the ruling coalition, which did not present a certain uniformity of views and chose to side with the extreme right, choice, that if you analyze the approach adopted so far by Netanyahu, is not a surprise; the rest of the politician has always deliberately slowed the peace process, continued to practice the controversial work of settlement construction in Palestinian territory formally and led a disproportionate war in Gaza, which hit mainly civilian casualties. But the project of Netanyahu is to get in tune with the ultranationalist base to which you add up all those who fear the advance of Islam and do not want to oppose peaceful methods to combat it. The next elections, therefore, are likely to turn into a referendum on the future of Israel or ultranationalist been increasingly isolated from the international forum or mature democracy capable of accepting differences and finally resolve the Palestinian issue with fairness. Certainly the move indicates that the Israeli premier Netanyahu will be played all over the future of his political line in the next consultation; This fact can be favorably supported by internal surveys and by the changed conditions of the US Congress, where Republicans have taken an absolute majority; this factor should balance the growing tendency in Europe to recognize the legitimacy of the Palestinian state, and after the approval of the Swedish Parliament has also collected the positive vote of the English and French. However, it remains the problem of international isolation against which Israel would face in case of victory of the ultra nationalist trend, American support always assured should not be lost, but Tel Aviv might have to face even economic sanctions such as those imposed by the EU on goods from the occupied territories. If this means of pressure should be accentuated, the already difficult conditions of the Israeli economy could create an even more widespread discontent and rock the country.
