JD: What’s the lay of the land right now? How does it look for both the Liberal party and the Right Wing party? And how the elections will come out on Tuesday?
WM: Well Jimmy first of all let’s remind our listeners that Israel has a Parliamentary proportional representation system in which the entire country is one voting district. It’s quite different from the United States of course. That being the case no one party is ever and is never expected actually to gain the 61 votes majority out of the 120 seat Knesset. Therefore we always have coalition politics from 2 to 7 parties sometimes joining up together to form a majority. The majority could reach into the 80’s sometimes in which then the Prime Minister can present to the President saying, “I have a majority” and he get to set up the government which is then voted in in the first Knesset session available.
We had elections a couple of months ago Jimmy. We’re doing
it again. My first comment is there isn’t a major difference between the voting
blocks from the last elections. Which means it’s a strong possibility that Mr. Netanyahu
will find it difficult even though he has a polarity with all his votes for his
specific party and his potential coalition partners. But he will not be able to
translate that polarity into a government without something happening very
strange. That’s the first hurdle he must go over because the key is Victor
Lieberman who is the head of the Russian party and he is the key to jumping the
hurdle of 61. My final sentence on this part of the answer is he might force
Netanyahu to go to a national coalition government which would take in the
largest party in addition to him from the other side which is left of sector.
JD: Winkie Medad explaining the election results may not allow
for the formation of an Israeli government.
We report this information because it is setting the stage
for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The results of the Israeli elections last April did not
bring about a coalition government under Prime Minister Netanyahu. Winkie’s
report indicates that may well be the same this election. This would be a bad
situation for the Jewish state of Israel because God for 4,500 years has been
using human government to direct the nations of the world in the plan that God
has for the future. The Lord sets the prophetic scenario for all nations in
place through human government today, that’s Revelation 17:17. This may well be
the case with the Jewish state of Israel in the future.
