Perfect storm of Bibi allying with all extremists elements in Israel, bribing them with everything they want. Together with some left leaning parties fucking up majorly. 2 very important parties refused to unite despite advice and one of them did not make it to the government because of it.

I love Michaeli, but so much of Bibi’s return is on her.

Yeah she fucked up big time. But who knows, could be for the best long term, as finally the sane liberal majority in Israel is fighting for our rights, after decades of apathy.

A technically correct but also completely pointless comment

It's not pointless, Michaeli, like any other minister, can lower the prices of anything through regulations, the question is at the expense of what. I'm just saying that she basically didn't do anything meaningful when she was a minister.

You can't lower the prices without the budget for it, so a minister can't just lower prices as they want, but that's not really the point.

The blanket statement that when a government spends money it comes from taxes is obvious and doesn't really add anything, the exact same statement could be said about government subsidising healthcare, or really nearly anything the government does.

What you can do is argue it wasn't worth it to spend the money on subsidies for public transport and it'd better spent elsewhere (even within the ministry), and that's a fair argument considering how lacking the transport is, regardless of its pricing.

I agree she didn't do much, but I think that's more to do with the governments rather than the minister, that coalition wasn't ever making public transport work on Saturday, and significant improvements (infrastructure) cost a ton of money upfront which I dont see any government investing in, sadly.

You're right I didn't explain myself properly. I meant that it wasn't worth it and it was just a pure populist move as you said.
