Lapid-Bennett initiative: Referendum on any peace deal

[Lipush]

Finance Minister Yair Lapid and Economics and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett are examining the possibility of introducing a bill stating that any peace treaty with the Palestinians will be brought to a national referendum before being ratified by the Knesset, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Sunday.

The initiative was discussed a few days ago during a meeting between the two politicians. Bennett, the leader of the Habayit Hayehudi party, has already started working toward obtaining a majority for the bill in the cabinet, but it appears that without Lapid's support it has no chance of being approved. Lapid did not rule out the idea of a referendum, but said he would consult with other members of his Yesh Atid faction before announcing his final decision on the matter.

More proof Israel does not want peace.

 

[Lipush]

No. Simply that any agreement which may cause a rift in the people of israel, is doomed to fail.they do not wish to see it happening. God bless them!

The Palestinians will too have a referendum. IOW, there never will be a negotiated peace. Until the world decides to enforce international law, there will be no peace.

Notice how he keeps changing his posts? First he claims there is nothing to " negotiate" the. He refers to a " negotiated peace"

What do you think a democracy is. It is a form of government where the majority rules. Ultimately you will have rifts, learning to work with those rifts without splintering is the essence of a democracy !!!

Yes, and what is the best way to achieve democracy ideals? isn't it asking the people directly what they want?

I believe that referendum is democracy in it's purest form! don't you agree?

Please let the Palestinians have a referendum, why not. And honest one, transparent, where Hamas doesn't force anyone to vote for any choice directly or non-directly.

I'm all for it. It will show that the Palestinians have their opinions counted so we can learn what they truly want.

You seem to be seeking unanimity and that isn't going to happen. Democracy is a messy thing, always has been always will be.

Yet you realize I just made a good point out there.

referendum is not against the democracy. it's keeping it, actually.
