Israel Knesset member and chairman of the current ruling coalition, Idit Shilman, resigned as leader of the coalition on Wednesday, throwing the Jewish state parliament into chaos and encouraging former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Knesset of Israel follows a parliamentary system, so the executive power of the government comes from the majority party – or from a coalition of majority parties. The current ruling coalition enjoyed only a 1-seat majority in the Knesset, with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s conservative Yamina’s party working with the liberal Yesh Atid party, led by Deputy Prime Minister Yair Lapid. This coalition overthrew the previous coalition, led by Netanyahu’s Likud Party, which still controls many seats in the Knesset. Sillman’s resignation threatens to deprive the coalition of its majority, leading to early elections and opening the door to Netanyahu’s return.

Shillman may have been referring to a dispute over whether to allow chametz – food with leavening – in hospitals during Easter.

He said that “she is paying attention to the voices from abroad and to the sincere protest of the electorate whose support we let win and with whose votes we were elected”.

Let us join hands and realize the values for which we have been elected.” Maariv reporter Anna Ravia Barski said many senior coalition members had known about Silman’s decision for at least a week, but reports indicate that Bennett did not know in advance. She allegedly canceled the program she had planned for the day in order to face the consequences of her resignation.

Likud leader Yariv Levin congratulated Silman on praising her for “rescuing the state of Israel from a dangerous and unprecedented process of deep damage to the state’s Jewish character and to the foundations of its existence.” Likud party officials claimed that Silman was not the only member of the coalition to consider resigning and hoped that others would follow suit.
