לקראת הבחירות – נתניהו פנה לבן גביר וסמוטריץ'

הערכה

Netanyahu is publicly pressuring his far right coalition partners Ben Gvir and Smotrich to merge their parties before the Knesset elections, warning that running separately could leave one of them below the electoral threshold. The prime minister's video message signals anxiety about fragmentation on the right, which he blames for past losses. Scheduled talks suggest tensions that may force a realignment before the ballot.
