Israel environment minister Amir Peretz quits Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet

[Penelope]

JERUSALEM (AFP) -- Israeli Environment Minister Amir Peretz said Sunday he is resigning over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's social policies, in a potentially major blow to the stability of the coalition government.
Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting, Peretz said the state was undergoing "an earthquake in all fields -- diplomatic, social, and financial," and accused Netanyahu of acting irresponsibly, a statement from his spokeswoman said.

"I have no intention of continuing to serve the policies of Netanyahu, who has become a prisoner to the right-wing," he said.
Opposition chief Isaac Herzog, who heads the Labor party, welcomed Peretz's resignation, calling it "the beginning of the end" of the government.

He said HaTnuah was part of the center-left camp "which Labor will lead in the next elections until the regime is changed."

Peretz will be the second minister to quit the government this month after Interior Minister Gideon Saar, from Netanyahu's Likud party, stepped down from political life citing his desire to spend more time with his family.

I feel PM Bibi is going to do something if he thinks he is on the way out and I fear it has to do with Iran, hope I'm wrong, but he seems to be the type of man who wants to leave a legacy of a messiah , in my opinion , and I really hope I'm wrong.

Now Oblama has another new cabinet member...

And? If there is a military coup, then let us know. You could also do us a favor by not linking us to a Palestinian news agency.

You must really think we're stupid, don't you? I doubt having an environmental director resign is a "serious blow to the coalition government." That amounts to nothing but propaganda.

Amir Peretz is what is equivalent to a liberal, seeing as he is a member of the Hatnuah party, which in turn only holds six seats in the Knesset. I wonder why?

Consider the source, loopy.

Without any other corroborating news stories, I call foul and BS.

"I did everything I could to promote a diplomatic process and fight for the dignity of Israelis," he wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday, saying there was "deterioration" on all fronts -- diplomatic, social and economic.​

Is Israel beginning to fall apart at the seams?

The exact opposite.

And what the hell does it have to do with Iran, anyway? It's a domestic thing he has to deal with, in his own coalition.

As for Amir Peretz, pfft, he'll combine his own party or join another soon. just like last time. The guy is known for picking the strong side depends on the wheather and mood.

Amir Peretz is what is equivalent to a liberal, seeing as he is a member of the Hatnuah party, which in turn only holds six seats in the Knesset. I wonder why?

That is because he joined Tzipi Livni at the last moment, just so he won't have to sit with Yachimovitz in the "outcast" department. As I said, the guy is known for saying he resigns only to join the "strong" ones later on. And since Livni her4self hadn't had much support lately...

 

[Daniyel]

This moron is responsible for the economy crisis.
He tries to promote Livni to PM which is unlikely to happen although this was his best shot so far.

 

[Daniyel]

Hold on,how is this thread related to the conflict?!

I will link to whatever paper I want, would you prefer an Israel one, plenty of those also carried the story, I checked.

How, a more centered gov might ease the tensions, that is how. Get rid of the communistic one you have.

Because they are pro peace, that is why they hold 6 seats. The rest are pro getting rid of the Pals.

If you have no understanding what Iran has to do with Israel you are lost. So you prefer a war monger cabinet(gov). I suspected as much. Complain about the Pals throwing stones but yet you want war and rid of them. No sympathy from me. You want war mongers don't ever cry about the stones again.

 

[Lipush]

It's not, but Israel and Palestine can also be "Israel" OR "Palestine", I guess

What a non sense, Amit Perez is probably one of the least related politicians to the conflict.
Amit Perez made zero significant influence on the conflict except signing for the Iron Dome budget.

Like Tirosh tried being Mofaz's "fortune cookie".

Amir Peretz became yesterday's news long ago.

Wow, you apparantly don't know much about Israeli domestic politics, or history of politicians

Maybe before talking nonsense, do some homework

At the time of my posting, many Israel newspapers were carrying the same story. I checked.

And we all know the veracity of every statement you make here . . .

 

[teddyearp]

Israeli politics is a bit over my head as well. It seems as though the papers can't make up their mind either as I found some 'other' links because I looked.
