He did whatever he wanted in the faction: Likud expert on Netanyahu's lesson from the field and the new struggle
A panel of commentators on 103fm hosted Keren Barak and Roy Konkol, who analyzed Netanyahu's narrow victory at the Likud convention. Barak argued that Netanyahu realized he must listen and compromise with forces in the faction, after four years of doing as he pleased. Konkol noted that both blocs have been stuck in static politics since October 7, and no one will be able to form a stable government.
The panel of commentators on 103fm hosted Keren Barak, a former Likud MK and strategic advisor, and Roy Konkol, a former spokesman for Yair Lapid. They analyzed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's narrow victory at the Likud convention, where he passed his proposals but faced significant opposition from the field. Barak said that Netanyahu realized he must listen and compromise, after four years of doing as he pleased in the faction and sometimes not convening it. She emphasized that in the battle against David Bitan over the districts, Netanyahu won by only a few votes, and he must be more attentive to the people who brought him to power. Konkol addressed the static political situation since October 7, arguing that neither bloc will be able to form a stable government, and the next government will be perceived as illegitimate by half the people. Barak added that the previous government could have looked different if the opposition had joined it, and sagas like gender separation and the conscription law could have been avoided.
