'This is a cultural war': The figure behind the radicalization of messages in Likud revealed

Internal polls conducted by Likud ministers and MKs reveal that about 80% of party members see the judicial system, the legal adviser, and the High Court as the most burning issue, driving the radicalization of messages. About 60% marked the Iranian issue as important, and only 40% the cost of living. The data indicate a deep transformation in the party's DNA, as the path to the top passes through a frontal clash with the judicial system.

Ahead of the Likud primaries, internal polls conducted by ministers and MKs reveal that about 80% of party members see the judicial system, the government's legal adviser, and the High Court as the most urgent issue. This figure explains the radicalization of messages, including calls not to respect court rulings. About 60% marked the Iranian issue as important, and only 40% the cost of living. Ministers describe the sentiments as a "cultural war" and "hatred" toward Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit and Legal Adviser Gali Baharav-Miara. Prime Minister Netanyahu demanded an unusually high number of reserved slots to balance the list, but the data raise doubts about whether he will succeed in stabilizing a list that appeals to the center.
