Strategic advisor Moshe Klughaft has issued a stark warning, labeling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's current political maneuvers as the most significant strategic error of the ongoing election campaign. Klughaft cited historical precedents in Netanyahu's career, recalling his decision to forgo a leadership bid in the 2001 elections, which allowed Ariel Sharon to easily win and resulted in Netanyahu losing eight years in power. He also pointed to the 2019 elections, which led to the downfall of the New Right party and a two-year period of political instability for Netanyahu.
Klughaft specifically criticized Netanyahu's current campaign against Brigadier General (res.) Ofer Winter, asserting that these actions could exact a heavy political price. "The 2026 elections could be the biggest mistake of all in the vile campaign against Ofer Winter," Klughaft stated. He elaborated that Netanyahu is not only undermining his own position but is risking a complete collapse, "he is not only sawing off the branch he is sitting on, but will bring the whole tree down on himself."
Separately, Yoaz Hendel commented on the number of mandates the current political bloc is worth.
