- Ramon called the "Only not Bibi" approach the biggest political failure in Israel.

Chaim Ramon, former Deputy Prime Minister, stated on Wednesday that the "change bloc" in Israeli politics faces a significant failure based on current results, having not even achieved parity with the "Netanyahu bloc." Speaking on Radio Galai Israel, Ramon outlined two unfavorable options for the opposition: either allowing Netanyahu to serve as a transitional prime minister, or attempting to form a minority government that he predicts would be short-lived and lead to new elections.
Ramon attributed the opposition's loss to presenting a "personal alternative" rather than an ideological one, characterizing the strategy as "Only not Bibi" since 2015. He described this approach as the "biggest political failure" in Israel, arguing that it has been a recurring theme for the bloc.
He suggested that the opposition's focus on personal opposition to Netanyahu, rather than offering a distinct ideological platform, has been a major misstep. Ramon believes this strategy has consistently undermined their electoral prospects.
