In over two dozen Election Day posts, the prime minister and his allies called on supporters to mitigate Arab voters' influence and shared unverified images purporting to show crowded polling stations in Arab cities
The opposite is true and I"ve been saying it since 10/8. I’ve been right so far. His coalition could already have failed if I was wrong. I believe I will continue to be right.
Probably. My read is that Israel has one more electoral cycle in it, maybe two, before the the fascism completely overwhelms their democracy, but for now I don’t think Netanyahu has the public support necessary to pull of a violent takeover. It’d be a different story if the pro-genocide bloc (aka most of the Jewish population) felt genuinely threatened, but Netanyahu’s two most likely successors are both firmly pro-genocide so it’s basically just Netanyahu’s political fortunes and how fast the West Bank gets ethnically cleansed at stake.
I will be astounded if he loses. But even if he does, will he leave office?
also the other parties are more right wing than he is.
He will lose, he can’t hold it together, not after 10/7 and his failure to be the law and order prime minister.
The new government will be even worse though from what I hear.

He already did. He lost in 2021 and stepped down. He’ll likely step down again.
