A prominent communications and strategy advisor argues that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must step down to enable the formation of a broad, stable Zionist government. The advisor contends that while Netanyahu has significant accomplishments, his continued leadership is an obstacle to forming a wide coalition. The national camp, he writes, must prioritize advancing its agenda over loyalty to a single leader, recognizing that the state is larger than any individual.
The author acknowledges that the idea of Netanyahu's departure is difficult for many in the national camp, viewing it as surrender or a victory for propaganda. However, he stresses that politics and history do not reward fairness, and in the current critical situation, if Netanyahu is the sole impediment to a broad Zionist government, he must go. The advisor asserts that Netanyahu's capacity for dramatic reforms, deep change, or national unity has been exhausted, and his international and domestic brand has become problematic, diminishing his ability to open doors.
He emphasizes the urgent need for a stable, functioning government to address critical issues like the conscription law, economic improvement, and security matters without extortion. If replacing the leader is the price for governmental stability, the national camp must pay it. The author criticizes the right-wing's continued claims of election fraud, arguing it poisons the atmosphere and destroys any chance of partnership. He warns that another election would be a dangerous illusion, potentially worsening Netanyahu's position and leading to a technical government formed by rivals, leaving Netanyahu out of the transition leadership.
The advisor predicts that public weariness with governmental stagnation and chaos will benefit a "third bloc," attracting center-right and center voters seeking stability. He warns the Likud party could find itself in a prolonged opposition. Ultimately, the national right must decide whether its priority is advancing its ideology and governance or the personal survival of one leader. The author concludes that the right must move beyond perceived persecution and make a rational decision, requiring a painful but necessary act of leadership to ensure a stable Zionist government.
