Netanyahu's real battle: the list, Ben Gvir and the trial

Commentator Amnon Lord analyzes Netanyahu's election strategy: strengthening the list with representatives of October 7, the surplus agreement with Religious Zionism designed to push Ben Gvir aside, and the trial that continues to hover over the campaign. Lord notes the silence of the Change Bloc in the face of British sanctions and raises concerns about engineering election results.

Commentator Amnon Lord analyzes the current election campaign from a right-wing perspective. He describes the reinforcement players Netanyahu brought to Likud, including October 7 representatives such as Talik Guili, Elisha Madan, Itzik Bunzel, and Eli Goldschmidt, as strengthening the list and adding momentum. The surplus agreement with Religious Zionism, he says, is intended to push Itamar Ben Gvir aside and isolate Ofer Winter. Alongside this, Lord addresses Netanyahu's trial as a suppressed event, and raises the possibility that Avichai Mandelblit's expected testimony will be a political attraction. He criticizes the Change Bloc for its silence in the face of British sanctions against Israel, and raises concerns about an attempt to engineer election results. The analysis reflects a sympathetic stance toward Netanyahu and Likud, while presenting the rival political camp as cooperating with enemies.
