המסר בליכוד למפלגות גוש נתניהו שלא עוברות: "תניחו את המפתחות"

הערכה

Two weeks before the candidate list deadline, Likud is pressuring smaller parties in the Netanyahu bloc to drop out or merge. The message is blunt: parties that fail to clear the electoral threshold will be blamed for wasting votes and weakening the coalition. This is a raw power play to consolidate the right wing vote and prevent mandate bleed. Watch whether any of the targeted parties actually fold, or whether the pressure backfires and hardens their resolve to run independently.
