Bibi’s welcome – and necessary – mandate
Some good news emerged from Israel this week. The electorate of the Jewish State finally decided to reinstate a strong and tested leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, with an actual parliamentary majority.
The vote reflected understandable concerns about a toxic brew of growing dangers, including: an imminently nuclear-armed Iran; increasingly deadly weapons in the hands of Tehran’s terrorist proxies doing business as Hamas and Hezbollah; and rising violence by jihadist Palestinians within Israel and territories it controls.
This is no time for weak and feckless leadership in Jerusalem.
Another electoral factor appears to have been a repudiation of the outgoing leftist interim government’s submissiveness to the dictates of a hostile Biden administration. “Bibi” has shown himself able and willing to stand up to anti-Zionists in Washington. He now has a mandate to do that, and deserves our steadfast support as he fulfills it.
