In an opinion column, Sima Kadmon warns against re-electing the current government in the elections on October 27, 2026. She argues that the past four years have been the worst in the nation's history, including the judicial overhaul, the October 7 massacre, wars, internal strife, crime, and the high cost of living. Kadmon cites a column she wrote in October 2022, in which she warned against the messianic coalition, and admits she was wrong to think Netanyahu would prevent the appointments of Smotrich and Ben Gvir. She references recent interviews and reports, including remarks by former Prime Minister Avi Gil and Dror Shalom, as well as the revelation that Jonathan Urich used ChatGPT to improve Qatar's image. Kadmon warns against appointing Ben Gvir as Defense Minister, Hanamel as his deputy, and continuing to transfer funds to Smotrich, Deri, and Goldknopf. She predicts a VAT increase, the collapse of the reserve system, a halt to American aid, the departure of doctors and hi-tech workers, and the cancellation of cultural budgets. The central message: choosing this government would be a "fall into the abyss."
