Israel: Government’s One Year Anniversary Marked By Continued Instability

The one-year anniversary of Israel’s historically diverse ruling coalition was marked Monday by near continuous threats to the government remaining in office.

Having lost its majority of a single seat in April, when Yamina lawmaker Idit Silman quit the government, the coalition remains vulnerable to the demands of members who refuse to fully back it.   

Due to the coalition’s ideological diversity - made up of right wingers, centrists, leftists, and Islamists - it is facing rebellions from a number of different political directions.
