Media personality Eliraz Sade has offered a sharp political analysis of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent campaign appearances, suggesting that right-wing voters perceive Netanyahu's role differently in the post-October 7th reality. Sade observed that Netanyahu is using the same talking points and struggling to generate momentum, creating a sense of being stuck in a loop. He criticized Netanyahu for not allowing interviewers to help him break free, focusing on messages rather than the emotional tone of conversations, which Sade believes is crucial for messages to be received, especially after October 7th. Sade stated that the public is discerning and seeking authenticity, which is currently lacking.
According to Sade, Netanyahu's old messaging patterns are no longer effective. He argued that automatic responses worked before October 7th and before Ben Gvir's changes in the prison service (Shabas). Previously, Netanyahu could claim he wasn't allowed to fix things and that the system was working against him. However, after Ben Gvir's actions, the Shabas incident, and October 7th, voters are skeptical. They question if Ben Gvir succeeded and where Netanyahu was all these years.
Sade concluded by analyzing the erosion of right-wing votes towards more active figures on the ground. He believes it will be very difficult to persuade voters now, as many right-wing individuals are shifting their support to Ben Gvir, Yinter, Zelicha, and Smotrich. This shift stems from the understanding that while Netanyahu may remain Prime Minister, his role will be more like a figurehead dealing with international figures like Trump, while others will wield more power within Israel, enacting practical right-wing policies, particularly against adversaries, rather than relying on slogans and blame.
