There is an air of turmoil in Benyamin Netanyahu's Likud whose era is considered over and his days in power are numbered.
"Anonymous sources" in the party supported this with 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 everyone back. 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 primacy of electoral representation that goes to the 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.

Gantz leads the polls to the detriment of Netanyahu
The centrist leader, now minister of the War Cabinet, Benny Gantz is the undisputed king of the political scene to the detriment of Benyamin Netanyahu
, according to a new poll by the newspaper Maariv which
gives him 50% of the favor compared to the prime minister's 31%.
A finding which, however, also assigns growth to the controversial radical right leader and Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir.
According to the newspaper's poll, Gantz's 'National Unity' party would, if the vote were held today, have
a majority of 39 seats in the Knesset
while Netanyahu's Likud would obtain 16 seats, a gap of more than double.
Ben Gvir's 'Jewish Power' would instead rise to 9 seats, the maximum representation to date.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid - who remained out of the wartime government - would see his party's 13 seats confirmed.
In the bloc division, the current opposition - even if Gantz's National Unity is part of the emergency government - would have a total of 66 seats in the Knesset against the 44 of the current majority, an overwhelming majority.
