غياب عن الساحة السياسية


Explanation:
في عالمنا المعاصر من يدخل المسرح السياسي لا يمكنه الإعتزال , فعالم السياسة ليس له مخرج لئلك تتردد جمل مثل : " فترة غيابه عن المشهد السياسي " او " بعد غيابه الطويل عن السلك السياسي " في الأخبار عن المسؤولين

Example sentence(s):
  • هذه هي بعض التسؤلات التي تثيرها عودة إيهود باراك بقوة إلى الساحة السياسية بعد غياب دام زهاء ست سنوات
