He defeated (almost) every rival

Yariv Levin achieved a notable success in the Likud primaries, despite criticism of the judicial reform and the protests against it. He dropped from first to third place, but the author sees this as an expression of confidence in him and his path. Many standard-bearers of the struggle against the judicial system, such as Saada, Shikli, and Ohana, advanced on the list. The author claims that the upcoming elections are about Israeli democracy, and states that Baharav-Miara and Amit functioned as prime minister and opposition leader.

Yariv Levin, who led the judicial reform, recorded a notable achievement in the Likud primaries, despite years of protest and criticism. He dropped from first to third place, but the author argues that given the delegitimization the reform underwent and the attacks from the left and right, third place is an expression of confidence in him and his path. The author notes that many standard-bearers of the struggle against the judicial system, such as Saada, Shikli, and Ohana, advanced up the list, and sees this as a statement reflecting public sentiment. He argues that Levin sought balance, not to trample the institution of legal counsel, and that his success indicates public demand for his actions. The author states that the upcoming elections are about Israeli democracy, and claims that Baharav-Miara and Amit functioned as prime minister and opposition leader over the past four years.
