ליברמן: אם אני אעשה את זה, אאבד שני מנדטים, בנט – ארבעה

הערכה

Lieberman is publicly calculating the electoral cost of endorsing Gadi Eisenkot for prime minister, and he puts the price at two mandates for his own party and four for Bennett's. The math is blunt: backing Eisenkot could shrink the anti-Netanyahu bloc rather than strengthen it. That admission reveals how fragile the coalition of rivals is, and why each leader is waiting for someone else to make the first move. The question now is whether any of them can afford to act on principle when the numbers say otherwise.
