"This is the most boring election campaign in history. Or we're tired, reporters. The only important question in the election is what their results are, and these elections are, in fact, very unpredictable,"
Haaretz political correspondent Haim Levinson said in a podcast interview. This week, "presented by political correspondent Tal Shalev
.
According to Levinson, the swinging voters will be the ones to decide the upcoming election.
"Surveys have no meaning because every presentation of the polls in the media is sinful to the truth. Every time 120 seats are presented on the board - do not look at the poll, because this is the biggest party of people who did not decide. In fact there are many people who did not decide, the percentage does not decide much higher "From previous elections, therefore, everything we see on the screen does not necessarily reflect."

"I do not know what the story of this election will be yet, there are some emerging stories, such as the treatment of the corona. We are less than 60 days before the election, obviously the corona is out of control. I have a spoiler for podcast listeners - the government will not extend the closure this week But in two weeks. "
"We can already say with some certainty that if Netanyahu's vision was that on March 23 he would say that we left the Corona, went out to restaurants and pubs in Eilat and Tiberias, we would probably not reach a full open economy on Election Day, and it is impossible to know what effect this has," he added.
"I do not think the public is happy with Netanyahu's treatment of Corona, but I do not know if the public is convinced that someone else would have run it better."
Another issue that is developing as a major issue in the election is relations with the ultra-Orthodox.
"This is a very bad issue for Netanyahu," Levinson said.
"There are issues that the media is passionate about, here I think the public is much hotter than the media. "Gafni said, even Aryeh Deri does not dare to break from the line of some Ashkenazi activists and go against Torah Judaism on the issue of fines.
"I also do not know how it will affect the ultra-Orthodox public internally," he continued.
"I have friends and family members who are disappointed with the complete bankruptcy of the ultra-Orthodox leadership. These elections will be challenging for both G and Shas.
In the end, it is not people who will vote for other parties, but I will not be surprised if there is a weakening, even if one seat from the ultra-Orthodox bloc falls, it is quite dramatic. "

Referring to the political tangle, Levinson said that "as long as Netanyahu in the region has a chance of a fifth election, as long as Netanyahu has a cult of 35-30 MKs that if they are told to jump off the roof, every time Netanyahu pulls to the polls they will say they must vote. These are people who say 'Gideon' Saar will form a government with the left 'when they form a government with Nissenkorn in the justice case, and do not see the contradiction. "
According to him, "Netanyahu is completely immune to the Likud, so he will be drawn in another election. He does not care. Netanyahu does not need a functioning Knesset, he does not need legislation, he is in power at the end. He does not care, he is only interested, so he will draw in fifths, sixths and eighths - Until he pays a price. "
Levinson, who is considered one of the mainstays of Twitter in Israeli politics, explained that the social network is a "complementary tool" for him as a journalist.
"It allows me to distribute things I publish in the newspaper to audiences who do not enter the country's website regularly. I do not sit on Channel 12 with an 18% rating so it allows me to reach wider audiences."
"There is no need for a functioning Knesset."

Levinson often uses Twitter to convey sharp and sarcastic criticism of figures in the political and public system.
He stands behind her.
"I only criticize strong people, who are stronger than me. They ask me what I have from Boaz Bismuth (Editor of Israel Today, T.S.).
He is the editor of the most popular or second newspaper in Israel, close to the prime minister - what is the problem with me criticizing him?
These are people who deserve criticism.
Along with praise also comes derogatory, I also have people looking in the corner, and every time someone tweets against me I say - Haim you have succeeded. "
Levinson talked more about the things he likes most about his work, what is the Levinson reform for party funding, what will happen in the center left bloc and if Netanyahu Will succeed in the election even without the American card of a friendly president like Donald Trump.
