The bulldozer victory: When Netanyahu's achievement meets Mendelblit's fear

The prime minister's win in the primaries is only seemingly an internal Likud matter, as it fits in with the court's moves. When Netanyahu asks for immunity, he will have a double rationale - he is not disqualified and his party members have renewed their confidence in him. Those who are supposed to decide are paralyzed by the horror of the crowds, but the celebration in Balfour may be brief

The bulldozer victory: When Netanyahu's achievement meets Mendelblit's fear

Two high-ranking, but not yet senior, paratroopers who were commanders of select units studied nearly 20 years ago in the same cycle at the National Security College. One excelled in "Sheldag", two did not shine in "Magellan". The first went on and on, to the Major General. The other was stopped by a champion. As politicians, they are senior and junior. The first has a chance of reaching the highest position of all; The other will remain on the margins. But right now, he, Moti Yogev, is more influential than Gantz.

If two or three years ago the 9-year-old Yogev dreamed of making a statement to the Supreme Court was a mad threat, now it is not just Dean, but common law. The tongue-in-cheek routine of Benjamin Netanyahu's supporters, which hundreds of thousands of civilians would not accept with the legal disqualification of their idol and set out for violent protests in general and against the judiciary in particular, became the decisive factor. Those who are supposed to make a decisive and professional decision, the Attorney General followed by the High Court, are paralyzed by the horrifying mob crowds, the computer stormed and restrained only as long as the accused occupies the battle cry. The deterrence works, and more how.

Abel Mendelblit's continued refusal to express a position on a defendant's ability to bribe a government turns the three charges against Netanyahu, which Mendelblit himself, from a crucial fact to a minor, a footnote, a future question in a trivia quiz. Who was the prime minister of Israel who served, among other things, in 2020-2024 when in the refrigerator of his residence, next to his beloved schnitzel of his auspicious members of the house, reserved bribes, fraud and breach of trust?

Those who find it difficult to resolve will hint: Towards the end of that period, and at the end of a year and a half, as required by law, that laws must be respected, his representatives on the Judicial Appointments Committee (2016-22) appointed Mandelblit to the Supreme Court.

Mendelblit's moves in recent weeks have benefited from Netanyahu and fit well in his victory over Gideon Sa'ar. When Netanyahu asks for immunity, he will have a double and up-to-date reason for the excuse for reversing his previous approach. He was not disqualified, and many members of his party renewed their confidence in him and implored him to lead them to the elections. No one like him will exert their trust. Therefore, it is a forward-looking immunity, not shielded from impeachment, and even though the Knesset has no substantive cause to grant immunity and if it does so in a petition to the High Court, the judges fear that removing the immunity will be a decree the public can not resist. The law.

Therefore, Netanyahu's victory over Saar is only an internal Likud matter. Saar proved that dare not always win. Sometimes the dare loses, but also upgrades to the status of a victor, because the definition of victory and loss also depends on alternatives and timeframes. No Netanyahu heiress is beloved in the haunted house on Balfour Street, but everyone is tolerated there compared to the Saar couple. By the way, when Netanyahu talked about the weather and ordered a whirlwind of notes for him, he carefully chose the separate word for the storm. If he could, Tzachi Hanegbi's mother would have been eulogized on behalf of her family only.

The celebration will be brief

When a storm was raised to the rank of enemy archives and derived from images, the incentive was taken to stay with Israel Katz and Gilad Arden and their second row partners - first only Netanyahu - on a passable wait for developments. From a competitor of half a dozen, he has become a bitter leader. They have been pushed to favor Netanyahu over their contemporaries. Now they have to be punished in fulfilling their wish: May the waiting for the end of Netanyahu's rule in the Likud go on and on and dry them on the bench.

Likud members' willingness to support defendant Netanyahu, and his anger at them with his purposeful arguments and fleeing from value judgment, have turned the party from a group led by a corrupt leader to a corrupt group led by a senior leader. There is no remedy here: Whoever sees a situation like this, shares it.

Sa'ar is now a six-member faction leader - the number will be updated according to the election results - whose role in the Likud faction in the Knesset depends on Netanyahu's behavior. The victory is a significant and symbolic achievement for Netanyahu, who, after a series of embarrassing failures, from twice in the elections to twice in the face of rockets, appears in the winners' column; But it won't matter if the Likud is blocked on the doorstep of the government. Defecting the Likud would be a political suicide and he would not choose to vote for it, but his support for Netanyahu's immunity or the cease-fire is not guaranteed. Ariel Sharon in the second government of Menachem Begin, Avigdor Lieberman in Netanyahu's outgoing government and Naftali Bennett, in the meantime, were able to capitalize on a relatively small political force for his second role, the defense minister, when their fingers were essential for the prime minister's survival. The Balfour celebration will be brief this time. In the next two or three months, Netanyahu will be forced to cut down on his family the intense emotions of silence and tantrums.

In a wider context, Tel Aviv's uniqueness was once again reflected as a separate entity in the land of Bibistan. In Shafdan, the sewerage cities of the Dan area, Netanyahu loses both storm and Gantz. Greater Tel Aviv, for millions of residents, is an affluent and protective image of the Gaza Strip: two Mediterranean coastal enclaves that want to live, look for a horizon and admire everything One of her reasons, from the defendant in the bribe that the Attorney General is afraid to announce his disqualification as a component of the government after the election, Sharon, meanwhile, fostered the image of the human bulldozer, bureaucratic and oppressive of each other.
