The Circus of the Confusion Bloc Continues: Leadership Battles and Gimmicks in Cyprus

The article describes the internal struggles within the center-left bloc, criticizing the lack of leadership and campaign gimmicks, such as election signs in Cyprus. Naftali Bennett struggles to answer a simple question, Gadi Eisenkot finds the partnership complicating his position, and Yair Lapid is dragged into the abyss. Polls show a drop in mandates, and the author claims the bloc is based solely on hatred of Netanyahu.

The article, by Channel 14 commentator Yaara Zard, attacks the center-left bloc (dubbed the 'Confusion Bloc') over internal struggles and a failed campaign. Naftali Bennett, in an interview, struggles to answer whether he would recommend the leader of the largest party in the bloc, stammering. Gadi Eisenkot, Bennett's partner, finds the alliance complicating his position, and his campaign hung election signs in Cyprus – a gimmick that sparks local anger. Yair Lapid is dragged along with them. A Channel 14 poll shows Bennett plummeting to 7 seats. The author argues that beneath the slogans there is no leadership or idea, only hatred of Netanyahu, and that this is failing.
