Nir Hefetz, a former adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claims that Netanyahu is in a state of panic over the fear of losing power. In an interview with 103FM, Hefetz said that 'panic is a major factor in his decision-making' and described 'frantic phone calls every five seconds with the same message from Yair and Sara.' According to him, Gadi Eisenkot is an opponent Netanyahu struggles to deal with, and the call for a unity government is intended to halt Eisenkot's progress. Hefetz assessed that the more Eisenkot advances toward forming a government, the less Netanyahu will agree to, and that Netanyahu's first move was to remove the Arab parties from the game. He added that losing power would also affect Netanyahu's trial, as the judges would require his presence at all hearings.
