“An opinion poll on Friday showed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party would form the largest single party in parliament if an election were held now, underlining a gradual recovery since the Oct. 7 attacks last year. The poll, published in the left-wing Ma'ariv daily, showed Likud winning 24 seats, against 32 at present, its highest score in the Ma'ariv poll since Oct. 7. It put the National Unity Party led by centrist former general Benny Gantz on 21.” He’s done it again; Netanyahu is the consummate political survivor. But he is observably not a good steward of Israel’s security or government. He has successfully done what most charismatic would-be autocrats do by manipulating the emotions of his audience. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/new-israeli-poll-shows-netanyahus-party-advancing-2024-09-13/

Truly scary results, fear of the other still seems to rule the psyche of the majority of Israeli voters. Netanyahu oversaw the worst security failure in the country’s history, striking a parallel with George Bush during the 9-11 attacks. At that time I was astonished how people rallied around the person and party that failed them so miserably.
