One of the scenarios that may materialize is a majority of 61 seats for those who want to end Netanyahu's rule compared to 59 seats for the opposing bloc.

Such a result gives a majority to opponents in the Knesset, and includes a scenario that threatens Netanyahu.

This prevented the plan.

Now, Netanyahu fears the possibility that the bloc that opposes him will try to restore the blocking majority, if there is one.

Levin argued that he had no intention of opposing a democratic move.
