Netanyahu's slots say it all. And Winter is also there

An analysis of Benjamin Netanyahu's election strategy in light of the slots chosen for the Likud list. The slots, including figures like Yaakov Bardugo and Itzik Bunzel, indicate a focus on mobilizing the right-wing base rather than an attempt to capture the center. Concurrently, the strategy towards Ofer Winter is examined, who may serve as a potential surplus-vote partner.

An analysis of Benjamin Netanyahu's election strategy in light of the slots chosen today (Tuesday) for the Likud list. The slots, including figures like Yaakov Bardugo, Itzik Bunzel, David Peter, and Goldschmidt, indicate a clear focus on mobilizing the right-wing base rather than an attempt to capture the political center. The author argues that Netanyahu chose figures identified with the camp and popular among Likud voters, aiming to increase voter turnout in localities associated with Likud, where relatively low turnout was recorded in the last elections. Concurrently, the strategy towards Ofer Winter's party is examined. The author raises the possibility that Netanyahu prefers Winter to pass the electoral threshold, so he can serve as a partner in a surplus-vote agreement that would prevent wasting right-wing votes. The relative silence from Likud towards Winter in recent days is perceived as an indication of this strategy. The analysis points to a shift in perception: instead of trying to eliminate rivals on the right, the goal is to maximize all votes of the bloc.
