Attorney Michael Kleiner argues that recent "exposés" on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, particularly those aired by Channel 12, are a sign of desperation and "plastic" reporting from the "change bloc" of opposition parties. He suggests these reports are an attempt to distract the public and obscure the fact that Qatar, a nation known for its "double games," was actively involved in facilitating the release of hostages.
He alleges that certain lawyers, driven by "hatred of Netanyahu," acted behind the Attorney General's back to construct indictments, even if it meant fabricating charges.
The author criticizes the mainstream media's "loss of composure" and "fear of collapse" in their efforts to unseat the government, framing it as a "religious revolution." He warns against premature celebration by the national camp, stating that the opposition's "sharp scent of fear" could energize their supporters. Kleiner urges Likud voters not to become complacent and to mobilize every family member, friend, and neighbor to vote, emphasizing the critical nature of the upcoming elections.
He further suggests that the opposition is attempting to replicate the energy of past protests, backed by significant funding and media support, to rebuild a "shadow army." Kleiner advises the Likud to use videos of past events like Yamit, Gush Katif, and Amona to rally volunteers for door-to-door campaigning. He also expresses concern that Arab voters will turn out in large numbers, potentially following directives from Tehran, Ramallah, Gaza, and Beirut to support a left-wing government and oppose the current one.
Ultimately, Kleiner places the responsibility on Likud supporters to ensure victory by actively engaging their personal circles, as he believes individual votes are crucial, especially when considering the possibility of significant turnout from left-wing voters, including those flying in from abroad.
