Abstract

This article examines the governmental capacity and assesses the factors that prevent Israeli governments from achieving their specific goals. The case of the fuel and gas depot in Gelilot points to inherent structural difficulties in the implementation of policy in Israel. The theoretical framework makes use of three different conceptual approaches: policy networks, policy implementation, and a descriptive model that focus on intra-network dynamics. It was founded that different government agencies shaped policy that had been changed rapidly because lack of institutional stability and short ministerial term in office. These inherent changes turned the governmental capacity to a dead-end.
