Bennett's path back to power may hinge on beating, or outmaneuvering, Eisenkot

Benjamin Netanyahu is facing what the article calls his worst political week since the October 7 massacre, but his main relief is that the opposing camp is fighting among itself. The piece argues that if Netanyahu were still the opposition leader, he would have attacked the government far more fiercely over the war with Iran, which has brought heavy costs, produced no clear gains, and left all of its stated goals unmet, including regime change, ballistic missiles, ties to proxies, and the nuclear program. It also notes the awkward overlap between the war and Netanyahu's personal pardon request, and says U.S. President Donald Trump is now publicly explaining why Iran should be allowed to keep its missile arsenal.
