But they at the same time don't see what these wars have achieved because those threats

still exist.

So the criticism is not so much of Netanyahu going to war, but failing to prosecute that war in a decisive manner.

So very quickly, when the Nathaniel government came to power in December twenty twenty two, they pushed a raft of what they called the judicial reform, which was basically a series of laws aimed at weakening the Supreme Court and other parts of the legal establishment that sparked many months of very bitter and large protests in Israel.

That still I think will be an issue in this election.

And I think there is also a broader issue in this election where it's a referendum of not just on the Tanyao, it very much will be that, but also on this coalition of religious and far-right parties which set out to achieve these radical changes in Israel and which at least half of Israelis are against.

And I think they'll be voting on that as well when this election is held.

Well, there are rumors swirling around of Netanyahu both to hell threes and because he's facing corruption charges, which Netanyahu denies.

He perhaps will try and find a plea bargain and part of that will be resign and not stand again.

Those rumors are around.

I I'm not convinced that Netanyahu is even capable of resigning.

This is a man who's been for forty years now in frontline politics.

This will be his twelfth election campaign as leader of his Likud party.

He'll be seventy seven when the election finally comes.

I don't think he has a life outside of this and

I'll be surprised if he resigns, but the rumors are there.

Anybody who's covered Israeli politics for any length of time, and sadly I've had to dedicate my entire career to covering them.

knows that you never bet against Netanyahu.

He's lost before, he's failed to win elections, but he's also achieved some unimaginable comeback, so I'm not gonna put any money.

on that, but it certainly is a tall order.
