Can the Koran Solve Israel’s Political Impasse?

Here’s a novel idea to resolve Israel’s increasingly painful political impasse.
The crux of the problem lies in the fact that one of Benjamin Netanyahu’s potential coalition partners, the Religious Zionist Party (RZP) headed by Bezalel Smotrich, refuses to support him should Netanyahu rely in any way on the Islamist Ra’am party to reach a majority of 61 in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset. Yet without both the RZP and Ra’am in his coalition, Netanyahu cannot reach 61 seats. Thus the impasse.
