The political upheavals that have taken place in Israel this week, from Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s announcement of its dissolution and promotion of elections, to the battle over the committee in which the Knesset bill will be promoted, continue to be the most talked about topic in the country. Today (Thursday) he spoke with Roni Bar-On and Professor Aryeh Eldad on 103FM, political and strategic commentator Roni Rimon, who explained how opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu can reach the desired 61 seats: “He only needs to do one thing – raise his percentage The vote in the Likud cities. “
According to Rimon, the Likud party, despite being the largest party in Israel in recent years, fails to bring in the “home crowd”: “Traditionally and I can show it, election after election, in Likud cities the turnout is lower than average. “Here, the Likud has failed time and time again.”
In addition, the strategic commentator tried to explain the trend reflected in the first mentee polls already published last week and said that “in the polls everyone involved feels that plasticine is difficult, and this is more or less the situation that is expected in the election, something like 58-59 seats for Netanyahu and 54-55 seats “To the other bloc. We will return to the same point, that is, the role of Yair Lapid, given and there will be elections, is to transfer seats from the right to his side.”

“For that matter, he wants to deter people who are considered ‘soft right’, those who are not sure they want Netanyahu in light of his connection with Itamar Ben Gvir, and so he is basically saying that the other camp is an extremist camp and if they want a non-extremist camp then come to him. “His camp is not a left-wing camp as they say. Our problem with elections is that politicians instead of doing the right election campaign are arguing,” Rimon explained.
In conclusion, he explained that if he had considered replacing the regime in Israel, he would have preferred to see a presidential regime over anything else: “The prime minister will have powers like the president of the United States, and the election will be once every four years and on a known date. The state of governance in the State of Israel. ”
