The fight for supremacy for the Home Secretary, Ayelet Shaked, caused her to dissolve the partnership with " Derekh Haaretz” members, the Minister of Communication, Uighur Handle, and the Knesset member, Zvi Hauser, this week. This came from the polls that showed the Yamina party (the party to which Shaked belongs) to be far away from the electoral threshold. Thus, she decided to join The Jewish Home to declare her loyalty to the right-wing party and its chairman, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Both Naftali Bennett, the former Prime Minister, and Ayelet Shaked suffered the same hardships from Benjamin Netanyahu, but each one of them learned a different lesson. To wet, Bennett noticed the danger and warned of it, whereas Shaked understood the danger but insisted on joining the danger spot despite all the red flags. As a matter of fact, she is persona non grata, not even in the right-wing party. Because Shaked is fighting for her political life, she is ignoring everything for the sake of being accepted again into Netanyahu's party. Her primary justification is that the Likud party, headed by Netanyahu, receives great admiration from the public, which can't be denied.

At the same time, Shaked also presents herself as an ideological politician. So how can its ideology be reconciled with an agreement that harms society's ability to possess the tools that help it integrate into the labor market? Shaked is busy dissolving and assembling parties in a desperate attempt to approach the electoral threshold.

In the political system, they attribute it to her with executive ability, but her behavior indicates that there is one thing she does not have, which is leadership talents. Shaked is not prepared to drive anything. She does not fight over the right things and closes in on herself when she sees grievances, whether in front of foreign workers or at the time when Netanyahu is destroying the efforts of the current government, of which she is a member, in order to push forward a fundamentalist society.
