Media consultant Itzik Elrov stated on Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is actively fighting against the formation of a minority government led by the opposition because he fears it would lead to the dissolution of his own bloc and the end of his political career. Elrov argued that despite claims from some right-wing figures suggesting the opposition should be allowed to form a minority government with Arab support to ensure its collapse, Netanyahu understands the true risk. He believes Netanyahu fears that such a government, even if starting as a minority, would quickly expand and fragment his bloc. Elrov suggested that if Netanyahu truly believed a minority government would fail within two months, he should allow it to form and then return to power strongly. Instead, Elrov asserts, Netanyahu is desperately trying to prevent its establishment because he knows it could succeed and mark the end of his political path. Elrov also noted that some leaders of the opposition bloc are hesitant to pursue this path due to fears of the government falling, while Netanyahu is under immense pressure because he knows it could succeed.
