Media personality Eliraz Sade has analyzed the political comeback of former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, expressing skepticism about his ability to maintain momentum until election day. Sade noted Bennett's return to the political spotlight after dipping into single-digit poll numbers, likening it to receiving a "balloon of oxygen." However, he questioned whether Bennett would have enough "air" to reach the ballot box, recalling Bennett's tendency to perform strongly in polls but weakly on election day.
Sade suggested that a single move by figures like Eisenkot or Lieberman, a last-minute maneuver by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, or an awakening from Yair Winter and Zelicha could cause Bennett's political standing to weaken. According to Sade, Bennett's political and personal pattern is characterized by rapid achievements that do not last. He described Bennett as someone skilled at marketing short-term products, citing a business exit that took six years. Sade characterized Bennett as a short-term achiever who can tap into a need, leading to a "meteoritic disappointment" and disappearance once a connection is made, either with him or the voters.
Concluding his remarks, Sade pondered Bennett's future political prospects and potential integration into a future government. He questioned whether serving as a minister in an "Eisenkot government" would motivate Bennett to seek the premiership again, or if he would continue to pursue quick exits and move on to the next thing, potentially finding the perpetual operation of politics and the state more engaging than a swift exit like the Bennett-Lapid-Abbas government.
