Why does Israel need coalitions?

Israel should reform its political system to eliminate the need for a coalition at all.

Step 1) hold an election for the Knesset

2) have a set number of ministerial posts, far fewer than they have now (a lot of them were created just to get parties into a coalition)

3) the Knesset as a whole votes for who they would like to fill each ministerial position, including prime minister, using ranked choice voting or runoffs

And there you have a functioning government in place. Individual Knesset members are free to vote however they want on any particular issue. Not perfect, but better than what they have now.
