With two weeks remaining until a pivotal moment, a sense of panic is reportedly growing within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government. Opposition parties, including Arab parties, are seen as threatening to cause the government's collapse, leading to a frantic search for a "game-changing event." The article suggests that the current political maneuvering, including "reports" of intense discussions, is a spin tactic by Netanyahu as part of his election campaign, aiming to create a sense of crisis in the absence of major conflict.
Despite the political turmoil, the author posits that Netanyahu, along with figures like Itamar Ben-Gvir, are closely aligned. The article speculates that ultimately, the government will be formed with the support of Arab parties, a shift attributed not to a sudden enlightenment among opposition leaders, but to a lack of leadership within the "change bloc" and the practical necessity of forming a coalition. This pragmatic approach, the article suggests, is a case of "doing something for other reasons, but it turns out to be for its own sake."
