Just not an opposition like this: The bloc leaders fail to bring about change | Shlomo Shmir

Shlomo Shmir 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 Shmir's column in the Ma'ariv newspaper: Although the bloc opposing Netanyahu has 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, complimentary assessments of Eisenkot, Bennett, and Lapid are heard, alongside 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."
