The more time passes, the clearer it becomes that radical Arab parties are the only ones that will be able to torpedo the survival government, whose members all need this coalition if they hope to somehow survive, even for a short period of time. It is therefore my assessment that if it is established, this survival government has a good chance of hanging on after it achieves its main objective: the ousting of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office.

It all depends on the goodwill of the radical Arab parties, who have turned out to be the big winners in Israeli politics over the past two years. They've gone from being rejected parties no one but their voters wanted anything to do with to the deciding factor that holds the fate of coalitions and governments in their hands.
With Netanyahu's ousting now the sole focus and ideology of the center-left, for whom the ends justify all means, we have witnessed a harried process to legitimize parties that raised the banner of the struggle to decimate the Jewish state. This was particularly true when it turned out they were the key to breaking the political deadlock between Netanyahu's supporters and detractors. This legitimacy is one of the reasons for the 2021 riots. Of course, we must also add to this the regional atmosphere, which has grown more volatile by the day due to the weak policies of US President Joe Biden.
Make no mistake. Even if the radical Arab parties ultimately lend their hand to Netanyahu's ouster – a move that would be something of a celebration day for masses of incited Arabs, this will not mark the beginning of an alliance of coexistence between those radicals and the survival government. The survival government is just a tool for them to achieve their central goal: the end of Israel as the Jewish state.
There are Israeli political figures taking an earnest part in cooperating with those radical Arab parties because they are full partners in the struggle to root out Israel's Jewish characteristics and make it a state of all its citizens. The New Israel Fund and officials with ties to the NIF are some of them. These figures have earned the generous support of the EU and its members. Now, they also have the generous support of the pro-Arab US administration.
All the facts, both at home and abroad, are now on the side of the radical Arab parties in Israel. They continue to spread the lie of "apartheid" outside of Israel and among members of Israel's progressive center-left. In fact, they succeeded in turning the tables on Israeli officials' relations to the 2021 riots, succeeding to a great extent in presenting the Arab rioters and attackers as victims of Israeli "racism."
At a time when a nationalist government should have been established in Israel that would restore the radical Arab parties to their rightful place at the sidelines of the political arena, a government is set to be formed that will be a hostage in their hands. An integral part of the multi-tiered strategy to put an end to the Jewish state adopted by the Palestine Liberation Organization in the 1970s was a focus on the domestic Israeli arena in an effort to undermine Zionist unity and break the Jewish state at the hands of the Jews from within.
The Arab parties, which are part of the Palestinian nationalist movement, have gotten incredibly close in recent years to achieving their goal: the eradication of Israel as the Jewish state.
