Political commentator Michael Shemesh of Channel 13 News asserts that the ruling Likud party conducted the least successful campaign in the current election cycle. In a video he released, Shemesh pointed to polls, bloc maps, and ground activity, arguing that Likud is struggling to set the agenda as it has in the past.
Shemesh noted that in previous elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was a highly dominant figure, dictating central discourse topics, traveling the country, and appearing in cities and on beaches. This time, Shemesh claims, Netanyahu's presence is significantly less felt.
According to Shemesh, the criticism is not solely his own. He stated that Likud ministers and leaders within Netanyahu's camp also believe the current campaign is less successful. Shemesh suggested potential reasons for this, including the focus on security matters such as the attack in Iran, the Qatar affair, and other emerging issues.
