And what will the opposition do?

Einav Schiff analyzes the opposition's response to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements about a "sanctions-bypassing economy." According to the writer, the opposition, led by Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Lieberman, and Gadi Eisenkot, focuses on portraying Netanyahu as a failure and a danger, but does not present an alternative political or security plan. Schiff claims that all three avoid any significant political move, see the renewal of the war in Gaza as inevitable, and focus on Jewish terrorism in the West Bank without addressing the impact of settlements. The writer warns that even after a change of government, international pressure on Israel will continue, and the economic credit will be limited. He concludes by asking whether the opposition can provide a real answer to the challenges, or whether Netanyahu's "crypto plan" will turn out to be the kryptonite of his rivals.
