In an opinion piece published on the Arab48 website, the writer analyzes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's attempts to remain in power, considering Arabs as the fuel for these attempts. The article notes that Netanyahu tasked President Isaac Herzog with forming the government yesterday, Saturday, November 7. The writer reviews Netanyahu's political history, from investigations into corruption suspicions about a decade ago, to his 2020 trial on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, his departure from the premiership in 2021, and his return after the 2022 elections. The writer believes that Netanyahu's return whenever his end seemed certain raises caution, and that his return came at a cost paid by state institutions. The article mentions that Netanyahu's government pushed a plan to change the relationship between political authority and the judiciary, and the Knesset passed an amendment in March 2025 expanding politicians' influence in selecting judges. The article concludes that Netanyahu took a direct path to end his trial, seeking a pardon from Herzog before the verdict.
