Netanyahu's strategy to return to the field; How does Netanyahu prevent the collapse and look for a new partner? On paper, the so-called anti-Netanyahu bloc has an overwhelming majority of 67 seats (including the votes of the Arab parties). However, this bloc is almost unable to turn this numerical majority into an effective government coalition due to internal contradictions and previous commitments of its leaders not to ally with the Arabs. On the other hand, Benjamin Netanyahu and his supporting bloc have 53 seats in the Knesset parliament; A block that also lacks the numbers needed to form a cabinet in the current situation, and here the key question arises, what is Netanyahu's operational strategy in such a deadlock? Netanyahu needs to restore the shaky ranks of his traditional coalition before any non-aligned consultation. Contrary to popular opinion, his group of supporters at some point reached the brink of collapse and now needs to be reorganized. Meanwhile, the challenges inside the camp are not few; From the unsuccessful case of figures like Ofer Winter to the partisan demands of "Noam" movements and "Haredi" parties (extreme orthodoxy). But Netanyahu's biggest political crisis at this level is the splitting of the Torah Judaism party into three separate factions. Therefore, his first step is to strengthen the existing body and prevent the forces from falling towards the opposing camp; However, given its focused slogans of egalitarian military service in the current political arena, reconnecting the more secular right-wing body with ultra-orthodox parties faces serious obstacles. After securing the base of 53 mandates, Netanyahu was forced to attract partners from the opposing bloc. Considering the distance of 8 mandates to the quorum of 61 mandates, he will not be satisfied with the joining of individual people; Rather, its goal is to attract the support of an entire party or movement. In this puzzle he has three main options. Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman. At first glance, Eisenkot appears to be the most flexible option to enter into negotiations, but evidence suggests that Bennett and Lieberman are more ideologically aligned with the right-wing camp. The historic departure of both of them from the right-wing bloc in the past stemmed more than anything from the strategic understanding that the path of right-wing leadership is blocked in the shadow of Netanyahu's permanent presence.
