Netanyahu tried to fix the Likud - now his entire camp is falling apart in his hands | Ben Caspit

Ben Caspit analyzes the collapse of public service in Israel under Netanyahu, focusing on the strike at Ben Gurion Airport, political appointments, and the disintegration of Netanyahu's political camp ahead of the Likud primaries. The author argues that Netanyahu is solely responsible for the destruction of the system, and that the chaos he created to survive now threatens to consume him.

In his column, Ben Caspit analyzes the political and public situation in Israel under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The author describes the collapse of public service, focusing on the strike at Ben Gurion Airport on the busiest day of the year, which he directly attributes to Netanyahu and Transportation Minister Miri Regev. Caspit claims that Netanyahu planted unqualified cronies in key positions, and the result is systemic rot. He notes two exceptions: Dedi Simchi at the Fire and Rescue Authority and Vaknin at the Postal Service, who succeeded despite the system. The author analyzes Netanyahu's strategy of creating chaos to survive after October 7, but argues that the chaos now threatens to consume him, especially in light of Gadi Eisenkot's rise in polls and the fragmentation of the right. Caspit also addresses the formation of a new party by Ofer Winter, warning of an unpredictable player in the right-wing camp.
