The longest-running Prime Minister in Israel’s history, Benjamin Netanyahu,\nfailed to obtain the much-needed Parliamentary support, with result to face\nthree prosecutions for bribery, fraud and abuse of power equally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that Benjamin Netanyahu is using a divisive word by imposing on\nhis party (Likud) a hard right-wing line is due to the fact that he does not\nwant to lost in any way the position of Prime Minister which in such a case\nwould mean that he was deposed by the leadership of \u201cLikud\u201d, facing Israeli\nJustice as a mere civilian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The political strategy of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given his long-standing experience in Israel’s political scene, Benjamin Netanyahu, despite his involvement with Justice, manages to be the only politician who has a specific and detailed edited program on specific issues as to what it must be done. A very important element that makes him stand out from other political opponents whose political programs on the same issues are not so clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that the \u201cLikud\u201d alliance in the elections came a second\nparty in relation with the alliance of the \u201cBlue and White\u201d party of the former\ngeneral and leader of Benny Gantz, Benjamin Netanyahu with his political\ntactics that followed all this time succeeded not only to keep the Israeli\nRepublic “hostage” but forced its political opponents to enter into a\nheap of political errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that all this time from the elections of 17th<\/sup> September\n2019 to today Benjamin Netanyahu was stubbornly refusing to Benny Gantz and his\nparty “Blue and White” to move the two parties together with the\nthird party in the elections of (Yisrael Beiteinu) to join in the formation of Government\nof National Unity that would solve Israel a lot of dead ends had the expected\nresult in favour of Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The political mistakes of Benny Gantz<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rigid political stance of Benjamin Netanyahu to date to refuse the\npartnership of a Government of National Unity with “Blue and White”\nparty caused the accumulated indignation of Benny Gantz and the “Blue and\nWhite” party’s charges that are eager to take executive power with result\nin pushing them into engaging in exploratory discussions with the Common List\nof Arab Parties for forming a government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wrong political move provoked the immediate reaction of \u201cLikud\u201d,\nespecially the nationalist portion of Israeli public opinion and, of course,\nthe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself. Prime Minister Benjamin\nNetanyahu described the party of Common List of Arab parties, “a fifth\nphalanx supporting terrorism and a betrayal of any political partnership with\nthem”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This political attack by Benjamin Netanyahu led the leader of the party\n“Blue and White” Benny Gantz to make the second chain political offense.\nFearing that his party would be classified as “betrayal” based on the\naccusations of his political opponents and instead of so long to elaborate his\npolitical program even more by making it clearer and communicating it correctly\nto the Israeli society, has been directly involved in adopting most of the\npositions of \u201cLikud’s\u201d political positions and initiatives, indicating that it\ndoes not have such a well-crafted alternative political agenda and answers\nrespectively to the various external issues of foreign policy and, in\nparticular, the issues relating to Israeli policy in Gaza, the occupied\nterritories and the settlements respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The undoubtedly successful former General and Chief-of-Staff of the Israeli Armed Forces fell as an unlearned schoolboy in the political\ntrap set up by the politically diverse politician and Prime Minister Benjamin\nNetanyahu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benny Gantz and generally the \u201cBlue and White\u201d party leaders ignored the\npolitics rule that wants politicians to be very patient in order to find the\nright opportunity to achieve their goals, while at the same time they show\nirreconcilable positions towards their political opponents to force them into a\npolitical mistake which they will exploit it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The election result of 17th<\/sup> September 2019, which does not\ngive the possibility of forming an autonomous government in the two major\nparties (Blue and White & Likud equally), a polarized and in several cases\na divided and politically sensitive society such as that of Israel, do not\nallow discussions with parties such as the Common List of Arab Parties in order\nto form a government of cooperation after the elections and since the other\nparties do not consent with them for their own reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any debates and discussions should be held before the elections so that\nthere is a clear indication to the electorate of what should be expected, while\nthe party ‘Blue and White’ should fully explaining its positions clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The misguided political move of the “Blue and White” party in\nadopting the political positions of \u201cLikud\u201d would make sense to make it into\nanother party if and only if the “Blue and White” wanted to weave\npart of the votes of this party in order to win Parliamentary autonomy in the\nupcoming elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But \u201cLikud’s\u201d voters will never vote for Benny Gantz and the “Blue and\nWhite” party to implement their party’s political positions because they\nsimply have their own proven political solution. The very experience politician\nBenjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The misguided political move by Benny Gantz will only bring disappointment\nto a large proportion of his followers, who believed that the “Blue and\nWhite” party advocates different and alternative approaches and solutions\nto the hot issues that concern Israeli society and the Middle East in general,\nremoving from the frame of the problems Israel which fully implements the US\npolicy in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The political move of Benny Gantz as long as there are no more as much from\nhim as from the chiefs of the party “Blue and White” really\nconvincing corrective political moves will lead a part of his frustrated voters\nto steer their votes to either other smaller parties or refrain from the\nelections as a sign of protest and frustration, while believing that all (the\npoliticians) are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only corrective political moves now left in the “Blue and White” party are to elaborate with even greater detail and clarity its political program and to communicate it in a correct and convincing way to the whole of the Israeli society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise the party’s percentages will be reduced in the forthcoming elections, and since \u201cLikud\u201d manages to rally around its political positions its voters will then be the first party to emerge, still strengthening the position of Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Netanyahu political phenomenon<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The political stance of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shows so far on\nhis inner-party opponents in \u201cLikud\u201d and his political opponents such as the\n“Blue and White” party that if he is not the Prime Minister, he will\nhardly leave anyone another to take his place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The political strategy of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from now on is\nthe dismantling in a stable way of his political opponents, forcing them to\nenter into a chain of political errors by disappointing Israeli public opinion,\nrallying at the same time around his face and his political positions his party\nfans, so on the one hand his inner-party opponents cannot challenge him in a\nwell-founded manner, while gaining valuable political time until holding the\nnext elections where he will give, with better conditions for him, “The\nbattle of all battles” for his political survival as Prime Minister. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But so far everyone will have to acknowledge to Benjamin Netanyahu-which in\npolitical terms can be described as the old-wolf of Israeli politics-that he\nknows how to handle and shape very well in his favour the political scene\nindependently of which unfavorable political position he is founded, proving to\nall his political opponents that he is too cruel to die politically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
