Prime Minister Netanyahu is reportedly employing a "divide and conquer" strategy to thwart the formation of an alternative government, a move that appears to have caught opposition figures like Gadi Eisenkot off guard. The article suggests that Netanyahu is orchestrating a personal campaign to undermine potential rivals and consolidate his political position.

Central to this strategy is the alleged targeting of specific individuals. The article questions Netanyahu's intentions regarding Yaakov Bardugo and the potential implications of appointing Matan Kahana as Knesset Speaker. Furthermore, it probes the reasons behind Naftali Bennett's insistence on Avishar Ben-Hurin for the chairmanship of the Finance Committee.

In a demonstration of this alleged political maneuvering, Moti Babchik, described as a confidant of the Grand Rabbi of Gur and an advisor to MK Yitzhak Goldknopf, was seen being escorted by Likud MKs Miriam Regev and Miki Zohar within the Knesset plenum on Wednesday. After slipping away to a secluded area, Bardugo was waiting for him there.

The article implies that this coordinated approach aims to maintain tactical discipline within the Likud party and exert pressure on Arab politicians, suggesting a broader strategy of political intimidation and alliance-building.
