Torah perspective
Coalition arithmetic can wait; the nation's needs cannot. The newly elected Knesset is already seated, and the Torah's standard for public leadership is not the signing of agreements but the doing of the work. Rabbeinu Yonah counts the delay of a mitzvah among the gravest failures, because the moment of obligation has arrived and the hand is idle. A government that exists only in draft form still governs nothing. The urgent matters, security, the economy, the wounded and displaced, do not pause for negotiations. Whoever holds office holds responsibility from the hour of election, not from the hour of the coalition photo.
