The political deadlock threatens to further paralyze the political system, according to the polls no party has a majority, and sixth elections are already peeking around the corner.
The thought of the billions of shekels that go down the drain and could have gone to much better purposes, such as education, health and welfare, is mind-boggling.
All the people living in Zion want is for a stable government to be established for four years, and for us, the voters, to be left alone.
Not for nothing, in a News 12 poll published on the night of the New Year, 46 percent of the "Only Bibi" camp answered that after the elections they are ready for a government to be formed with the party known as "Only not Bibi", while 60 percent answered that they are ready for their side to form a government with the opposing party after the elections .
The clear conclusion is, in my opinion, that the people wish for unity.
Like the one between the Likud and Labor during the Shamir and Peres days, when this time the role of the Labor Party is played by the Yesh Atid Party.
This scenario is not just a wishful thinking of a significant part of the public, but according to the strategist Aviv Bushinsky, it is a possible scenario.
"After the elections, someone or some of the leaders will not keep their election promises," he says, and also refers to Netanyahu's behavior towards Lapid, which is less aggressive than that towards Benny Gantz and his friends.
Even in Netanyahu's new book, he does not "enter" Lapid as he does Gantz and Ehud Barak.
At the same time, Lapid said in one of the interviews that he is not ruling out "Netanyahu", but only "Netanyahu the accused".
He added that if he is cleared of the charges at the end of his trial, he is definitely an acceptable partner.
In conversations with close associates, Netanyahu compliments Lapid and says that unlike Bennett, who tries to imitate him and fails, Lapid is clever and smart and conducts himself well.
Here, two additional elements enter the picture - the first is the Ben Gabir phenomenon, which eludes the eyes of all party leaders (with the exception of the religious Zionist party - with which Ben Gabir united): Netanyahu "unleashed the monster", when in the previous round he advised his voters to vote for religious Zionism, thus qualifying him , and now I'm eating the fruits of the Bushes. The second element - Netanyahu's trial and the thought of a plea deal, which will be received much better, even if it is lenient, during the unity government.
Therefore, we will not fall off our chairs when Netanyahu's first phone call, in the evening of election day, is not to Ben Gavir or Aryeh Deri, but rather to Lapid.
Although he pledged not to sit down with him, there is a probability that Lapid will not slam the phone, but will listen to the proposal according to which he will serve as prime minister for the first time, for two years plus, while Netanyahu will take care of his legal affairs.
He will also not serve as a kosher minister in accordance with the Panhassi rule, and will be a MK and chairman of the Likud.
If acquitted, he will be sworn in as prime minister in the second half of the term.
If he is convicted or signs a plea deal, the mandate will be given to one of the sitting MKs who will compete in the primaries for Likud leadership.
Such a unity will be offered to the ultra-Orthodox on the right and Gantz and Lieberman from the center or Labor to join.
Religious Zionism and Meretz and the Arab parties will be left out.
