Former Israeli Minister Haim Ramon, who claims a 27-year track record of accurate election predictions, has offered a bleak forecast for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party ahead of the upcoming elections. During an interview on 103FM, Ramon outlined a scenario where Benny Gantz, without negotiating with Arab parties, could form a government. Ramon suggested that Gantz would approach Avigdor Lieberman and Naftali Bennett, proposing they present a government to oust Netanyahu. He questioned whether Lieberman and Bennett would refuse, thereby remaining with Netanyahu. Ramon concluded that the current political struggle is over who will lead a minority or transitional government, stating that Netanyahu's chances of remaining prime minister are "approaching zero." He believes Netanyahu will not be prime minister after the next election.
