- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is using a "unity card" out of fear of losing power.
- A recent recorded statement by Netanyahu was described as "hysterical" and a "total meltdown."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has deployed the "unity card" only when facing imminent loss of power, a tactic observed at critical junctures in his political career. Netanyahu's latest move, a recorded statement released after Shabbat, was described as "hysterical" and a "total meltdown" in near real-time.
This eleventh-hour appeal for unity, according to the analysis, is a desperate measure triggered by the palpable threat of losing his premiership.
