Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the longest-serving leader in modern Israeli history, faces mounting pressure as his “total victory” pledge over Hamas fades amid ongoing Gaza conflict and devastating civilian tolls. His approval ratings are crumbling under scrutiny of war mismanagement, far-right concessions, and an active corruption trial. Israelis are deeply divided—some hail him as their indispensable protector, others see him as a leader who’s overstayed his welcome and failed to own responsibility. Polls show his fragile coalition could collapse if elections were held now. Enter a new political force: former PMs Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett, who’ve united under the nationalist banner of “Together,” offering a Netanyahu-lite alternative that’s already polling strongly. With war outcomes, international dynamics, and legal battles looming, Netanyahu’s comeback looks riskier than ever. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
