Immediately after
Forming the
New Israeli government,
Prime Minister Bennet
And Foreign Minister Lapid
Announced that they
Would not conduct
Any political process
With the Palestinians.
Any attempt to do so
Might anger
The right-wing parties
In the government coalition!
The “government of change”
Was formed to deal with
The Corona pandemic,
With the high housing prices,
And other important issues.
It is certainly capable of
Conducting political processes
With Arab countries that are
Thousands of kilometers away
And of inviting their representatives
To historic Summits.
But the Palestinians?
No way!
Is there now any room
For second thoughts
On this issue?
No! Absolutely not!
The bloody conflict
Is brutally rising again
On the streets
Of Israel’s cities.
Is a terrible time
such as this
The right time
To make an effort
To achieve peace
And put an end
To the bloodshed?
Of course not!
What an absurd idea!
