The tight elections open a dramatic scenario: the move that may decide Netanyahu's future | Mati Tuchfeld
Tuchfeld analyzes the scenarios of the tight elections: In Likud, they are mapping opposition candidates to identify weak links, while on the left, they are formulating a plan to replace the Knesset Speaker, entrust the mandate to Eisenkot, and legislate against Netanyahu. The author claims that the warnings of Bar and Gil about the judicial reform constitute an indictment against them for bringing politics into the IDF.
Mati Tuchfeld analyzes the scenarios of the tight elections in Israel and the political future of Benjamin Netanyahu. In Likud, they are working on a meticulous mapping of all opposition party candidates—from Eisenkot and Bennett to Lieberman—to identify possible weak links that would not be willing to sit in a government that relies on Arab factions. Meanwhile, on the left, they are formulating a plan that includes replacing the Knesset Speaker, entrusting the mandate to an opposition leader (for example, Eisenkot), passing a law prohibiting the president from tasking a candidate under indictment with forming a government, and establishing a state commission of inquiry into the events of October 7. Tuchfeld also describes the indictment of former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar against Netanyahu, and claims that the warnings issued by Bar and Avi Gil about the judicial reform actually constitute an indictment against them, for bringing politics into the IDF and calling for refusal.
