English · 1 newsroom

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu employs the "unity card" strategy only when his power is directly threatened and the loss of his position seems imminent. This tactic is intended to prevent rivals from gaining control, specifically by making Eisenkot waste his mandate and thwarting his bloc's potential takeover of the Knesset. Netanyahu has used this approach at other critical junctures in his political career.
