Let's be crystal clear about two ponts: 1. There will be no coalition with Netanyahu. He is out! finished!! over!!! 2. There must not be another round of voting. This is the Israeli reality and @gadi_eisenkot, @naftalibennett, @AvigdorLiberman and @YairGolan1 must work with it!

The exit polls are showing a 70:50 to Eisenkot's bloc over Netanyahu's. Regardless of winds up being the larger party - what really matters is who has the larger bloc and can muster up more support when presenting to the President. Furthermore, 70 MK is control of the Knesset!

Desperate times don't always call for desperate measures. Sometimes they just lead to panicked measures by incompetent politicians who know that they are on their way out of power and in to jail. @netanyahu

Today is the day. Go out and vote! โœŠ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโค
Tomorrow is the culmination of four years of resistance. Resistance to autocracy. Resistance to theocracy. Resistance to kakistocracy. Resistance to corruption. Resistance to treachery. Resistance to lack of accountability. Tomorrow we vote them out of office and power!

๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโ€œIn many ways, Eisenkot is almost the complete opposite of Benjamin Netanyahu,โ€ Yoav Horowitz told me. Horowitz was once among Netanyahuโ€™s closest confidants, serving as his chief of staff for three years until 2019. Today, he is one of the founders of Eisenkotโ€™s political party, Yashar. โ€œNetanyahu is a bottom-line person. Gadi Eisenkot is a process-oriented person. Netanyahu would tell me, โ€˜I donโ€™t care how you do it, Yoav. Just do it.โ€™ Eisenkot is much more methodical and places much greater emphasis on process.โ€ย  In political terms, Netanyahuโ€™s flexibility allows him to achieve results through frequent shifts in position. โ€œNetanyahu is capable of saying on Thursday, โ€˜Iโ€™m going to annex parts of Judea and Samaria,โ€™ because he knows he needs to overcome a political obstacle on Friday,โ€ Horowitz said. โ€œAnd then, on Sunday, he realizes he canโ€™t do it. Eisenkot would not go to the press on Thursday with such a declaration, even if staying silent carried a political cost.โ€ @TheFP
๐ŸšจThe Netanyahu Antithesis: Eisenkot, former IDF chief, lost his son in the war in Gaza. He rarely wears a suit and avoids political grandstanding. Known for dignity and long-term processes. And heโ€™s leading the polls against Netanyahu. My story on @TheFP thefp.com/p/his-son-was-killโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ’ฅIf anyone can claim the title of a Likud Elder it is Benny Begin, 83, former Netanyahu minister and son of Likud founder Menachem Begin. This is his video begging fellow Likud members to kick the current Likud out to the opposition.

There has been speculation that Netanyahu might try to accidentally on purpose provoke a resumption of war with Iran, in hopes of helping him in his election. The Israeli chief of staff appears to share that concern.
Israel's Channel 12 Reporting (English translation of their report:) Breaking news in this edition An unprecedented confrontation between the Chief of Staff and the Prime Minister has reached a criticalโ€”or perhaps disastrousโ€”turning point over the last 24 hours. At the heart of the matter: the Iranian issue. There is concern on the part of [Chief of Staff] Zamir that Netanyahu and the political leadership might trigger a scenario of miscalculation vis-ร -vis Iran, just ahead of the elections. A defense official states that the action in question could lead to a rapid confrontation with Iran at a highly sensitive and dramatic moment, potentially resulting in a miscalculation. Sources familiar with the details indicate that the military leadership fears an attempt to exploit the Iranian issue for political gainโ€”a claim that political figures deny, labeling it an outright lie. Regardless, two sources tell me that the situation has escalated to the point where, during a visit to the Palmachim Airbase today, the atmosphere in the discussion was extremely tense. In recent days, Zamir received a directive from the political leadership but requested an in-depth discussion before taking any action. He also demanded formal, signed legal authorization from the political echelon for the proposed move. A senior defense official remarked: "History will not forget the role Zamir has played here over the last few days." In short: an exceptionally intense confrontation between Zamir and Netanyahu regarding the Iranian issue, occurring just before the elections. It should be noted: all details in this report have been approved by the Military Censor. Yaron Avraham

What happens when you appoint an incompetent populists rage-baiting racist to the minister in charge of personal security? An all time high in murders nationwide. Come Tuesday, let's kick Ben Gvir out of office and position of power. Let him go back to bitching on TikTok.

How will crypto effect you? Let's start with your capital's valuation fluctuating like a fly with flatulence. Crypto currency is as detached from the world of finance as one can be without declaring seashells as legal currency. You would also be disconnected from everything >>>
This is the most revealing interview clip from Netanyahu I have ever seen. Netanyahu explains that Israel is facing global sanctions and an end to US aid and proposes the use of blockchain and crypto as a solution. This is very telling: 1) Netanyahu is planning for a future of sanctions evasion. He believes that it is facing a similar future to Russia and Iran. Having seen them both survive that he believes Israel can do it too and seems resigned. 2) He believes Israel has lost active American support and does not think it can fight it. 3) The kind of blockchain and crypto solution he is discussing is not meant to uphold an entire economy. Rather, it is a good way for an elite to keep functioning while the people are in poverty. His plan is to move Israel further towards an isolated kleptocracy, while continuing to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing. This is the Israeli future.

that you take for granted: โœ–Amazon โœ–Netflix โœ–Credit cards โœ–Flights abroad โœ–A new iPhone Unless you think that you'd enjoy living like they do in Russia, North Korea or Iran (you're not part of the Oligarchy) - this alone should cause you to vote the current coalition out

This is a completely inappropriate intervention in Israelโ€™s internal affairs, sovereignty, and democracy. Foreign leaders should not be endorsing candidates, and candidates should definitely not be soliciting such endorsements.
To the Great People of Israel: Bibi Netanyahu has been a great wartime Prime Minister, and an even greater partner for peace in the fight against the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its 51-year-old slogan: โ€œDeath to Israel, Death to America! We will destroy the Little Satan and the Great Satan.โ€ What country can survive when such things are allowed to be said, because eventually, they always come true? It was only a matter of time before Iran carried out this threatening declaration, but they have been systematically destroyed, both militarily and economically, and if they do not change their ways quickly, we will soon finish the job. If Israel has the wrong leader, meaning anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this job itself, and I am not inclined to do that. Bibi Netanyahu has been strong, courageous, and brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition, including opposition that came from within Israel itself. Despite all of this, he persevered and, in fact, even thrived! I watched Bibi during the most difficult times. Ordinary men or women in such situations would have collapsed under the pressure โ€” but Bibi did not collapse. In fact, he became even stronger, and he maintains that same strength today. This is the kind of partner that the United States of America demands from Israel, a country for which it has done so much. Please consider this letter my full and complete endorsement of Bibi Netanyahu as he prepares to run for another term as Prime Minister of Israel in the upcoming election. Bibi Netanyahu will never let you down! Thank you for your attention to this matter. **Donald J. Trump** **President of the United States of America**

Dear @POTUS, We don't know why you would belittle your presidency to the extent of endorsing a dead-horse such as Netanyahu. Nor do we know what promises he may have made to secure such an endorsement. We do know is that he on his way out (and down). As to your endorsement...
