There is an air of turmoil in Benyamin Netanyahu's Likud whose era is considered over and his days in power are numbered.
"Anonymous party sources" claimed this to the Jerusalem Post newspaper, according to which, in addition to the effects of the shocking events of October 7, the awareness is growing among the Likud base that Netanyahu will not keep his promise to destroy Hamas and bring back all the hostages.
Also weighing - according to the newspaper's sources - are the results of all the political polls which show the Likud falling from the current 32 seats to a figure between 16 and 18, far from the absolute record of electoral representation held by its centrist rival Benny Gantz.
A figure which - if confirmed - would not even allow the re-election of all the party's important deputies.
For this reason - the sources added - behind the scenes, maneuvers have begun for Netanyahu's possible successor.
In pole position we are talking about the current defense minister Yoav Gallant, the foreign minister Israel Katz, Nir Barkat at the head of the economic ministry and the current president of the Constitutional Affairs Commission Yuli Edelstein.
