A post Thursday morning proposes that the so-called 'third' candidate form a new party to gauge electoral support without Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a sarcastic political take.
A sarcastic comment posted Thursday morning suggests that the so-called 'third' candidate—likely a centrist or opposition figure—should form a new party to test their electoral strength without Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The remark comes amid a period of political flux, with recent polls showing Netanyahu's personal popularity outstripping that of his Likud party, and ongoing discussions about mergers and new parties ahead of the 2026 elections. The comment reflects a recurring theme in Israeli political discourse: whether any candidate can challenge Netanyahu's dominance outside the current party framework.
