Just two months have passed since the establishment of the new Israeli government, and despite the many disagreements on a slew of issues, we could all agree on one thing: There is a feeling that Israel is breaking apart.
It began with the heavy-handed launch of what the government called a judicial reform - announcing a rollout of bills to weaken the judiciary - followed by weekly mass protests of the initiative, the threat of economic failure, and a rift between two sectors of the Israeli society.
In an unprecedented scenario, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling Likud party began hemorrhaging support, with polls showing potential mandates moving to former Defense Minister Benny Gantz's National Unity Party, even before the government's 100 days of grace were up.
But, it's not just about the judicial overhaul, which is acceptable to some on the Right.
In the last elections, Netanyahu and his future coalition partners promised to bolster personal safety and national security of the Israeli public, as well as to tackle the rising cost of living.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was the wild card of this election campaign. He attracted voters who up until that moment were not part of Netanyahu's political camp. Thus, thanks to an effective campaign promoting a government that would leave the Israeli-Arab lawmakers out of power, Netanyahu was able to regain his role as prime minister.
But earlier than expected, the government was faced with a harsh reality with no less than 13 Israelis killed in terror attacks within one month.
Netanyahu had over the years blamed his left-wing or centrist coalition partners for the failure of his previous governments to effectively uproot terrorism. But this time, he is at the head of an "rightest-ever" coalition. Its successes or failures will be seen in accordance with the expectations he and his allies have set.
Hours after the latest terror attack on Sunday afternoon, settlers set out on a violent rampage in the West Bank town of Huwara, close to where the earlier shooting of two Israelis took place.
The images of the damage done to the Palestinian town may remain etched in our collective memory, and make for unpleasant headlines the world over.
But they are only an affirmation of the loss of control and anarchy that prevailed under the rule of the all-right government.
It seems that even in comparison to the previous coalition, which was comprised of members of the left, right, and center of the political sphere as well as one Arab party, the current government is breaking records. There has never been a government in Israel that has angered so many people, so quickly, and the question is, where will it end and who is in charge?
The Aqaba meeting in Jordan on Sunday is an example of this chaos. After the meeting convened to bring about a de-escalation of tensions ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the Americans said Israel pledged to suspend settlement construction plans for 4 months.
But Netanyahu denied there was any such agreement and at the same time, the far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, said they were not obliged by anything agreed upon in Jordan which was not tabled before the government.
So, what is Israel's policy toward the West Bank? What are the agreements reached with the Palestinian Authority? How will Israel conduct its war on terror? The opposing approaches only create a bigger mess.
The feelings of chaos only increased during the riots in Huwara. When President Isaac Herzog, Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Yoav Galant called for calm as settlers set fire to homes, other members of the coalition called to "raze" the town.
Until the current government, those familiar with the political system would testify that Netanyahu most hated his third government that was in power in 2013-2015, with centrist Yair Lapid and former Justice minister Tzipi LivnI.
But after forming his new government following the November 2022 elections, he may hate this one even more. On the eve of the elections, Netanyahu dealt with the legacy that he would leave behind. But as of this moment, it seems that it would consist mainly of chaos and destruction.
