Netanyahu wove a web of arguments aimed at undermining Bennett and Shaked's justifications for resigning and forcing early elections. Let’s see how they get out of it
This week Netanyahu underwent what leaders hate most: loss of control. With Lieberman out and Bennett breathing down his neck to wrest the defense portfolio, the PM is holding tight to his seat
Lieberman thought Gaza will save him, but his party's electoral hopes are already dashed. According to political assessments, Netanyahu will have a hard time keeping his coalition together longer than the next two or three weeks, a month tops
The bill that reveals the extent of Netanyahu's paranoia ■ A darling of Israel's right-wing is shunned after attacking an anti-democratic law
Netanyahu explains what made him suspect Gideon Sa'ar of plotting to unseat him, and desperately tries to avoid a debate on LGBT surrogacy
Now this lesson has been learned by Likud Minister Zeev Elkin, who on Tuesday lost the Jerusalem mayoral election
A plot by President Rivlin and Gideon Sa'ar to dethrone Benjamin Netanyahu may sound absurd, but what is less fatuous is the fact that, with possible indictments hovering, the premier is fighting for his life
If Netanyahu decided against moving up the elections it's not because President Rivlin or former Likud minister Sa'ar is out to get him, but rather to avoid coinciding with an indictment that might lose him the elections
As Gaza boils and Netanyahu balks, Lieberman, one of the premier's main rivals on the right, is demanding a tough response by Israel. Meanwhile, their colleagues on the center-left are looking for a savior
Netanyahu picked on a ‘Likud from birth’ catcaller, who complained about the closing of an emergency room in her town, which he continued to harp on even after
There’s no doubt that Netanyahu’s mind is already focused on his Likud party’s next campaign, but also on the day after the election
The seriousness with which top politicians are handling the idea that Netanyahu could be immune from prosecution demonstrates how Israel has gone off the rails
MK Oren Hazan accused TV anchor Lucy Aharish of seducing Fauda actor Tzahi Halevi in order to hurt Israel – and Netanyahu said nothing
The Knesset’s winter session will be held in the shadow of an election, with a prime minister preoccupied by investigations and campaign calculations. He can always count, however, on some sycophantic minister or other in his corner
Well equipped with Israeli intelligence achievements, the prime minister formulated a precise and credible indictment against Iran ■ Those expecting a statement of renewed negotiations with the Palestinians were disappointed
Netanyahu's proposal to allow parties a mere three seats in Knesset was met with a resounding 'no.' But he was aiming at one specific group of voters ■ The race for Jerusalem mayor could send shock waves across the political scene – all the way to the general elections
Netanyahu has reached the peak in political, leadership and global terms – just when he’s on the brink of a personal abyss
Netanyahu is setting his party's sights high ahead of the next election ■ Ex-tycoon's prison sentence doesn't bode well for the prime minister
While Netanyahu and Lieberman pretended like the Hamas talks didn't happen, Bennett rallied for war
Deputy Health Minister Litzman may want the conscription bill to pass, his moves are dictated by the Gerrer rebbe, who's in dubious touch with reality
