Just not an opposition like this: bloc leaders fail to bring change | Shlomo Shami

Shlomo Shami argues in his column that despite the 67 seats held by the bloc opposing Netanyahu, the opposition led by Eisenkot, Bennett, and Lapid fails to bring about a change in government due to internal frictions and political deal-making. A senior figure in the Jewish community expresses frustration over the lack of coordination among the three.

Shlomo Shami's column in Ma'ariv newspaper: despite the bloc opposing Netanyahu having 67 seats compared to 53 for his bloc, the opposition fails to bring about a change in government. The author criticizes the internal frictions and political deal-making within the opposition, noting that alongside the slogan "Only not Bibi" there is a need for the slogan "Only not Lieberman." In conversations with senior figures in the Jewish community abroad, flattering assessments of Eisenkot, Bennett, and Lapid are heard, along with impatient expectations for a revolutionary development. One senior figure is quoted: "I don't understand how it is that Eisenkot, Bennett, and Lapid are not sitting in a closed room, discussing and consulting together on an alternative to the Likud government and Netanyahu's tenure as prime minister."
