Torch will use the chair for the benefit of the campaign, not sure it will help | Israel today

Voters in Israel know that in addition to voting for the party of their dreams, they are also electing a prime minister.


Despite the fact that Lapid is now prime minister, and by virtue of his status he can invite Netanyahu to a security briefing, in order to win some momentary propaganda position - there is no room for comparison between the two personalities.

Following the death of veteran journalist Joel Marcus, Haaretz published its prophetic article warning of the first Lebanon war.

It was Marcus who defined Netanyahu's speech at the UN in 2009 (not the famous speech in Congress in 2015) as a political event, as a strategic turning point: "His speech turns out to be a work of thought of a political move ... And in the Nazi plans. .

In his ability to express himself, Bibi was able to demote the Palestinian issue. "

This is an Israeli statesman who produces in one speech a game-changer in the political world.

There is nothing to talk about the other things Netanyahu did as prime minister or finance minister.

But Israel today is almost a scorched earth in terms of the campaign to blacken Netanyahu and the Likud.

As a result, it is part of a phenomenon that is plaguing Western democracies and weakening them in the face of threats from Russia, China and Iran.

The US, France, Britain and Italy are convoluted within themselves, and their political systems are having a hard time functioning. Israel is immersed in the aesthetics of government instead of facing security, economic and social challenges. This means that the public does not refer to a body called a government, nor to the person in charge.

Now, Lapid is entering a four-month trajectory, with the main reason being to exploit the Prime Minister's Office for campaign purposes.

But in terms of the message to voters there is now clarity;

They know that in addition to choosing their dream party, they are also electing a prime minister.

This time, if there is no lump sum decision at the ballot box, the right-wing voters will be the ones to lead Yair Lapid.

how exactly?

Lapid's difficulties in forming a government after the election are enormous, so his chances are lower than those of Likud leader Netanyahu.

Apparently Lapid is not infected by Netanyahu's hatred.

But he is the chief architect of the boycott politics against Netanyahu.

In this matter, Lapid and Bennett have created a firewall around Netanyahu since 2014 and 2015, with the goal of deterring center voters from supporting the Likud.

Netanyahu tried to instill in the run-up to the March 2021 elections that there is an organization to turn Lapid into a prime minister through right-wing partners. Although it was hard to believe, he was proven right. This time the "message" is in the prime minister's office.

But the choice is not only between Netanyahu and Lapid, but between a national government with direction and cohesion and a shaky government that could collapse from all winds.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
