It's time for unity
Rotem M. Sela argues that the collapse of the "Anyone but Bibi" campaign has led the Change Bloc voters to realize they must work alongside Netanyahu, and warns that if Likud does not treat them as equal partners, they may turn to a dangerous partnership with the Arab parties.
In an opinion piece, Rotem M. Sela argues that the collapse of the "Anyone but Bibi" campaign has led Change Bloc voters to realize they must work alongside Netanyahu. According to him, the campaign turned voting for Likud into a protest vote, and the recent elections marked the end of the political era in which attempts were made to topple Netanyahu at any cost. The article warns that if Likud does not treat Change Bloc voters as equal partners, they may turn to a dangerous partnership with the Arab parties. The author calls on Likud to act with generosity and wisdom, not as a pressure group seeking to maximize power. He quotes MK Ofir Katz saying that Likud insists on the existing coalition structure, and warns that Likud's silence on unity is a dangerous gamble.
