The battle for the leadership of the Change Bloc: 'Bennett in free fall in polls, Liberman tries to position himself'
Maariv correspondent Nahum Peri analyzes on Radio North the leadership struggles within the Change Bloc: Liberman tries to position himself as prime minister, Bennett suffers a free fall in polls, and internal pressures threaten to dismantle the party union.
Maariv's Knesset correspondent, Nahum Peri, analyzes on Radio North 104.5FM the battles at the top of the Change Bloc. According to him, Avigdor Liberman is trying to prepare the ground and present himself as a legitimate candidate for prime minister, appealing to the religious-nationalist and security-minded audience. On the other hand, Naftali Bennett is suffering a free fall in polls, although the party union initially gave new momentum. Peri reports internal pressures within the union to withdraw from the agreement, due to a feeling that the wind is no longer there. He estimates that if the fall is not stopped, the parties may separate. It was also said that both Bennett and Lapid care first about their parties, despite the talk of unity.
