Blue and white executives already want to bang their heads against the wall.

Every few days, the party leaders sharpen their tone towards the prime minister, but Netanyahu refuses to get excited.

His disregard is already driving them crazy.

Yesterday (Monday), Bnei Gantz and Gabi Ashkenazi directly threatened to go to the polls within two weeks if no budget is submitted.

Netanyahu's reaction to this sounded like a cricket.

A political crisis that could have opened editions and conquered the agenda, is receiving minor headlines without headlines.

Mainly due to the widespread assessment that the blue and white gun is a bouncy gun.

Netanyahu can continue to ignore them and the ultimatum will die of itself and fade into the night. 

For months, the Likud and blue and white clashed over every possible issue.

But recent polls have taught Netanyahu that the party with which he shares power, and even supposed to transfer its leadership in a little over a year under the rotation agreement, is simply not worth referring to.

After supporting the law restricting the demonstrations, the base actually left Blue and White, the same base to which she winked and begged him to stay, while unconditionally supporting the ills of the judiciary, the tricks of the ombudsman and the prosecutor's office exercises. 

In blue and white depth surveys it actually no longer exists.

Its single-digit power in media polls stems mainly from inertia and the lack of a worthy alternative on the left, but there is no doubt that it will be in the moment of truth when new elections are officially announced.

Currently, Netanyahu has no intention of acceding to Gantz's demand to submit the 2021 budget soon, and according to his people, the only budget to be tabled in December is the 2020 budget. So in March, in case the ultimatum fades and evaporates, the prime minister will get another exit poll. 

Instead of blue and white, Netanyahu prefers to mess with Naftali Bennett and to the right.

As Bnei Gantz and Gabi Ashkenazi intensify their attacks against him, the prime minister intensifies his attacks against Bennett.

The Prime Minister knows that if not now when.

In an election campaign, he may even have to hug the right-wing chairman, pledge to be a key figure in his government, express regret for not joining the current government, and count the seats repeated one after another for the Likud, to strengthen the prime minister in the face of camp barriers. . 

Netanyahu also does not want to go to the polls when the Likud and the right are close in the number of seats to each other.

He knows that this will lead to a big media embrace of Bennett and major troubles in the formation of the government if the trend continues.

Netanyahu is also coping much better with attacks from the left than from the right.

That is why Bennett is being pushed to the corner with the message of the renewed brotherhood of the right with Yair Lapid, and it is not inconceivable that this is also the reason why the weekly demonstrations in Paris Square can suddenly be held, which only strengthen him in his camp.
