Aviv Bushinsky, a former communications advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was interviewed today (Wednesday) on 103FM and addressed the summit between Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump. Bushinsky spoke about the relationship between the two and the possible implications of the meeting on the upcoming elections in Israel. He estimated that if Netanyahu realizes he has no chance of winning the elections, he may choose not to run. Bushinsky noted that the very holding of the meeting was important for both sides, even if it did not lead to a significant breakthrough. According to him, from Trump's perspective, the meeting was not politically necessary, but Netanyahu benefited from it in terms of his campaign. Bushinsky added that Netanyahu is not complacent and understands the situation, and that the changes to the Likud constitution were a risky move that passed successfully. In his view, if Netanyahu sees he is losing, he might not run.
