Is the target of 61 for National Camp parties realistic? This is a question that needs to be asked upside down: will the leaders of the national camp be able to rise above the tendency to hang in Lieberman as the only excuse, and learn from their omissions in the previous round? Three deficiencies were characterized by the second stage: Prime Minister's over-concentration and almost exclusive propaganda management around the Netanyahu brand, the slackening of hands, and sometimes the right-wing ministerial and MK laziness to the point of negligence, and the abandonment of the territory. And, in particular, to approach the elections as one bloc; the 61st bloc - whose victory may add more.

As a first step, Netanyahu's image should be used correctly as a national leader. Clearly, all the gates that Israel has set on the political field under its leadership should be projected in slow motion, and emphasize the fact that in the decade of global economic collapse and chaos, Israel maintained stability and prosperity. But Netanyahu's leadership must be emphasized in the face of the teasing pettyness of the indictments. The message has to deal with disproportion: the proven success in the face of moral purity, the achievement in the face of systemic persecution, the democratic popular support against the clerical effort to limit the will of the people.

But the campaign must not rise and fall on Netanyahu, on the contrary. As a second step, the right-wing governments' performance in the Likud leadership over the past decade must be emphasized. The peripheral connection revolution in roads and interchanges; Social sensitivity along with economic prosperity; Decrease in unemployment alongside "per-user price" and "open sky"; Reducing the gaps in culture between center and periphery; Historical investment project in the Arab sector; Energetic independence and transport of gas project from discovery of reservoirs to stream and export to Egypt. In the previous round there was a false sense that there was no need to repeat the obvious. This time, successes should be highlighted, especially in opposition to these initiatives on the left and the relentless efforts of opposition parties to thwart. Particular emphasis should be placed on the proven performance of right-wing governments in the face of the managerial failures of the blue and white leadership.

The third step is to return to the field campaign. The area must not be abandoned again; Dozens of Netanyahu tours and meetings should be held throughout the country, and hundreds of meetings of Knesset members and senior right-wing ministers - from all bloc parties. It is impossible to base a campaign on viral videos on social networks; The national camp, with all its parties, should "scorch" the area on a daily basis, and the overarching challenge should be raising the voting rates in the right-wing strongholds to the rates that brought the wins in 2015 and April 2019.

And a fourth step, and no less important: should act as a bloc and create a common agenda for all components of the national camp. Not only does it have to commit in advance to go together - which will not only reduce the need for intimidation, violence, anti-gunfire and all the rest, but will create a mutual commitment of all bloc components to shared success. It will be the glue of all national camp parties, which will undoubtedly neutralize The ability of opponents in the center-left bloc to conflict or to try to pass the weak squads aside, they tried to undermine the 55-block, and get the 61-block.
