What an absolutely ridiculous move. He keeps giving Israelis new reasons to want him out of office.

at this point I'm convinced that if Bibi built a ramp on his roof to pee on citizens, people would stand in line. His remaining base is basically a cult. Nothing can lose him more votes anymore.

They're literally blaming the judicial reform protestors for October 7th

If even after 7/10 he's still getting so many mandates on the polls I honestly don't think anything can save us anymore.

Such a thing to happen in his watch should pummel him down all the way to under the 3.25% line

It's scary how close Bibi is to being Israel's Trump, in case he isn't already

Do not compare the two. Trump hasn't been president for the better part of the last 20 years. And unlike Bibi, he is very much bound by term limits. He also can't manipulate his way back into power, either he gets the necessary electoral votes today, or he doesn't, and if he doesn't, there's no coalition he could build to get back in the White House.
