Netanyahu Targets Another Party Threatening His Bloc
Following targeted attacks against Ofer Winter, Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud party is now focusing its efforts on Professor Yaron Zelekha. This shift comes in response to internal and external poll data indicating that a significant portion of Zelekha's and Yoaz Hendel's voter base, estimated at about 60% of their total supporters, originates from Netanyahu's political bloc.
The growing pressure within Likud regarding smaller right-wing parties stems from two primary concerns. Firstly, Netanyahu's campaign team fears a scenario where these smaller lists fail to cross the electoral threshold, potentially costing the right-wing bloc three Knesset seats. Secondly, even if these lists do gain Knesset representation, Likud is concerned they might align with Avigdor Lieberman after the elections to form an alternative coalition government.
These actions are in addition to Netanyahu's aggressive campaign in recent days against Winter, aimed at eliminating him from the political landscape and preventing the erosion of right-wing votes.
