Despite internal tensions within the Change Bloc, the parties are preparing for a snap move to form a new government. Three of the bloc's party leaders have declared their candidacy for prime minister: Yair Golan, Naftali Bennett, and Gadi Eisenkot, alongside Yair Lapid and Avigdor Lieberman. With the release of the exit poll results on election day, the bloc's leaders are expected to hold a conference call to coordinate steps. The working assumption in the bloc is that there will be a significant security event, likely on the Iranian front, during the mandate assignment, and therefore they plan to form a government within days to avoid pressures. The article reviews three previous instances in which Netanyahu did not receive the mandate, and in each case a security event occurred that changed the political picture.
