Right, Right, Further Right

Amichai Attali analyzes the Israeli political landscape three years after October 7, highlighting an unusual phenomenon of four parties running to the right of Likud. The analysis examines the shift of the Israeli public to the right, Netanyahu's unchallenged status as the camp's leader, and the political chaos created by the entry of new players like Ofer Winter. The article predicts that the right will only reorganize after the Netanyahu era.

Amichai Attali analyzes the Israeli political map three years after October 7. He notes that the public has shifted to the right, but the result is an unusual phenomenon: four parties running to the right of Likud — Otzma Yehudit, Amcha Yisrael, Religious Zionism (which includes Feiglin's Zehut), and Ofer Winter. The analysis describes Netanyahu as the central glue of the right-wing bloc, rallying around him the second camp — right-wingers, Mizrahim, and traditionalists. In contrast, his rivals from the change camp offer alternatives in state management, integrity, and equality of burden, but due to tribalism, ethnicity, and closeness to Jewish tradition, Netanyahu remains the unchallenged leader. Attali notes that Winter is the new enigma — the only one who criticizes Netanyahu and challenges the coalition over Haredi conscription. The article concludes with the prediction that only in the day after Netanyahu will the right reorganize.
