As if this weren’t an outrageous enough display of chutzpah, MK Yorai Lahav Hertzanu, from opposition leader Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid Party, jumped onto and over the table, lunging at Rothman while berating him.

Yosi Havilio, a current deputy mayor, is running with the backing of the Yesh Atid, Meretz and Labor national parties against current Mayor Moshe Lion, who is a member of Likud.

A nearly identical incident took place two days earlier, in which the settlers entered the field of a Palestinian farmer from Burqa, tearing down a fence and damaging his crops, Yesh Din said.

Army Radio reports that Yesh Atid is pushing hard for the pair of Blue and White hawks to back a no-confidence motion that would install said alternative government, but Hauser, at least, is not biting.

CGI Group — co-owned by Yaakov Perry, a former MK for Yesh Atid, one of the factions that make up Blue and White — is the firm hired last year by Blue and White to investigate the suspected Iranian hack into Gantz’s phone.

Gantz’s decision to join forces with Netanyahu led to the swift collapse of Blue and White, with the party’s No. 2, Yair Lapid, rejecting the move and apparently heading into the opposition with others from his Yesh Atid faction of Blue and White.

Lahav-Hertzano, who has served as an MK for Blue and White in the past, joins Yesh Atid-Telem, the party’s former partner, in the opposition.

Leading the charge was Israel’s opposition leader from Yesh Atid-Telem, Yair Lapid, who had already the Prime Minister’s “Republican First” approach to US politics.

Opposition parties Yesh Atid and Telem also criticised the coalition, calling it “corrupt”.

The Blue and White coalition has proven surprisingly resilient, but no one really knows how many election cycles it can endure without its constituent parties, especially Yesh Atid and its robust grassroots activist network, jumping ship.

The petitions were submitted by various groups, including the anti-corruption advocacy organization Movement for Quality Government and the Yesh Atid-Telem faction in the Knesset.

Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid and Moshe Ya’alon, leader of Telem, have categorically rejected entering a unity government with Likud as long as it is headed by Netanyahu.

Blue and White was formed ahead of the April elections by a union of Benny Gantz’s Israel Resilience party, Lapid’s Yesh Atid and former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon’s Telem.

Liberman, said sources close to Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, was aware of the idea and did not reject it outright.

On March 6, we hosted Yair Lapid of Yesh Atid/Blue and White before a standing-room only crowd of 500 at ZOA House.

Phrases daubed on cars and walls included: “When our brothers are being murdered, it is our obligation to not forget” and “The nation of Israel lives,” according to a Yesh Din field worker who arrived at the scene and provided photos of the damages.

The leaders of Blue and White — composed of Gantz’s Israel Resilience party, Lapid’s Yesh Atid and Moshe Ya’alon’s Telem — have reportedly been at odds whether to join a unity government with Netanyahu.
