Strategic consultant Nevo Cohen analyzes in an op-ed on ynet the political strategy of Naftali Bennett during the coalition negotiations. According to him, Bennett is deliberately silent, allowing Avigdor Lieberman and Gadi Eisenkot to break their election promises, while avoiding tarnishing himself. Bennett, according to the writer, aims to return to the premiership, not to settle for another senior position. He is waiting for an opportune moment when without him there will be no coalition feasibility, and then will condition his support in exchange for his goal. The writer notes that Bennett is moving along a familiar axis of sophisticated negotiation management, as he has done in the past. The op-ed concludes that Bennett's silence is entirely a strategy.
