The elections deliver Israel to Netanyahu

At the end of the call to the security of the state, against the enemy Palestinian and Arab, Netanyahu did win, bravo to reverse negative opinion polls, which gave as his unlikely election victory. From the numerical point of view the 30 seats won by the Likud is to be read in two ways, the first is that delivery to the party of outgoing Prime Minister, the first place in the election campaign, but far from an absolute majority of 61 seats needed to govern The second is that the result is much improvement of the 18 seats won in the last election. Especially the latter gave talks about how the country was conquered by the issues of security, in a nationalist view, rather than the economic aspects, as had been proposed. If these issues were at the center of the assessments of the voters, the judgment of Netanyahu could have been so positive. Israel is in the throes of a severe economic crisis, exacerbated by excessive inequality present in the social fabric of the country, thanks to the economic policy of the previous government. Many analysts have focused on these issues and providing stating, that they would be the ones able to change the political direction of the country, but this did not happen. Contrary to predictions, Netanyahu was able, however, to intercept the fears of voters, favored by the presence of the Islamic State relatively close, the international pressure on the Palestinian issue, perceived as an interference and calmed by the will of the winner to ensure the denial of any possibility for the creation of a Palestinian state. If, from a certain point of view, these fears can be somehow included, the Israel that comes from the polls is a country bent on itself at the mercy of atavistic fears and unable to tackle long-standing problems from new angles. The victory of Netanyahu is closed to the world and the trend, almost self-destructive, to remain a state far from reality. It should be remembered that it has come to these early elections because the prime minister wanted to give the country a setting almost confessional, refused not only on the left but also the center-right, which showed adhesions convinced in the population. The last appeal to vote, avoiding the turnout, which recorded one of the highest percentages of voter turnout, was based on the finding that the Palestinians with Israeli citizenship were on their way to the polls in large numbers, just to alter the balance of power between the parties; and in fact the Israeli Arab party has become the third political force in the parliament. The significance of the accession of the Israelis in this appeal is one of the technical reasons for the victory of Likud and the formation of right and stipulates aversion among the majority of the social fabric of Israeli and Palestinian neighbors and, consequently, cancels any prospect of the solution of the two states, which was included in the electoral program of the center-left. This result also clears the auspices of the President of the Republic to create a national unity government: now the political parties are too far apart, as too are the different political programs. Israel starts as a government where the nationalist right will have more say and probably will push for even greater occupation of the territories, the Palestinian Authority will stop all forms of dialogue and move its steps towards international organizations, most notably the International Court of Justice, forcing the country to show Israeli and international pressure strongly negative, which will cause further isolation and possibly even sanctions. But doubt more will cover the evolution of relations with the United States, including in relation to the will of Washington to close permanently and positive approval for the civil use of nuclear technology to Iran. Netanyahu has the support of the Republican Party, but relations with the White House are at a record low and it is difficult to predict a positive turn after that Tel Aviv has foiled a major goal that Obama had given in foreign policy: the creation of two states. The two countries, the US and Israel, are obliged to work, but on the level of this cooperation will depend on too many factors, such as the general attitude that the new Israeli government will want to keep and the evolution of the global scenario internationally, that will determine the degree of closeness between the two capitals, in each case what is shaping up is a very complicated relationship.
