Future head of the opposition Yair Lapid is warning against what he calls an 'extreme' government, as issues of religion and state are already rearing their head.

Right, like Lapid ever took into consideration anyone who thought differently. The guy acted like he'd been elected king, and made appointments that an interim PM is not allowed to make, and gave away Israeli maritime rights, without approval of Knesset or a national referendum, as required by law. And extremist government is one that included members, who want to do away with the government, like the last one. If the last government had done one single thing, to improve the lives of Israelis, the so-called far right would not have received the landslide it did.

In the ancient times lsrael was nearer to being a theocracy than to a monarchy. Besides, to real believers, nothing happens apart from God's will-be it good or bad to human perspective.

Far-right? Why don't far-left? We the people have the right to decide, not you i24 news.

1:20 so your a rabbi who runs a business and you are refused a loan because you rescriminate? A bit far

I can see if regular people discriminate but you can see where its in fact weird.

my guess is that this government will last less than its full term mandate - see you at the polling station ( AGAIN !! )
