Filber on Bennett's dilemma: "This is the end of his political career"

Shlomo Filber, a pollster for Channel 14, assessed that Naftali Bennett's plan to become the head of the bloc opposing Netanyahu has collapsed. According to him, Bennett faces a dilemma: acting to topple Netanyahu—a step that could mark the end of his political career—or re-joining forces with right-wing elements.

Channel 14 pollster Shlomo Filber assessed this evening (Tuesday) that the plan of Yashar party chairman Naftali Bennett to become the head of the bloc opposing Netanyahu has collapsed. According to him, the poll results left Bennett in a complex political situation, after he failed to realize his ambition to lead the camp. Filber explained that Bennett hoped to receive the mandate to form the government and manage the political negotiations, but the polls disrupted the plan. He added that the partners Bennett relied on, Avigdor Lieberman and Gadi Eisenkot, are not in a position that helps him. Filber argued that Bennett faces a dilemma: supporting the "indictment law" and toppling Netanyahu—a step that could mark the end of his political career—or seeking renewed partnership with right-wing elements to preserve his chances of returning to the premiership. The article relies on Filber's assessments as a single source, without a response from Bennett.
