An opinion column by Ephraim Ganor arguing that the opposition is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's greatest gift. Ganor opens by stating that in any normal democratic country, the current failed government would have been thrown out by the end of October 2023, but despite the most terrible disaster that occurred on its watch, the government has proven over three years that it has no right to exist. However, about three weeks before the most critical elections in the country's history, polls show a tie between the blocs. Ganor attributes this to the fact that the government has cultivated many interested parties, whose downfall would harm their financial situation, as well as budget mechanisms and benefits for the ruling parties. The main criticism is directed at the opposition, which he claims has no strategy, guiding line, or public relations agenda, and is being dragged along by Netanyahu. Ganor argues that the memorial days for the three-year anniversary of the disaster should have been an opportunity for the opposition bloc to echo the failure, but its people are not in the streets or at rallies. According to him, the upcoming elections will end in a resounding failure for the opposition and a great victory for the coalition, and even a tie would be considered a significant achievement that would drag the country into fog and uncertainty.
