For those who haven’t been following the latest political developments, take a breath—because we’ve got a situation here. Naftali Bennett recently decided to run jointly with Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party in a full merger.
Within that unified list sits a senior Yesh Atid figure, Yoav Segalovitz, a former police official and very central player in their operation. So far, so good. But then the real drama emerges: turns out Segalovitz received an official offer for a reserved spot on none other than Ra’am’s list ahead of the upcoming elections.
Yes, you heard that right. That same Ra’am party that openly represents the Islamic Movement and the worldview of the Muslim Brotherhood. Now that this picture is coming into focus, it’s hard not to rub your eyes and absorb just how low we’ve sunk. How does someone who grew up in the hard core of the national camp, who was CEO of the Yesha Council, slide into a reality like this?
2+How does someone who waved the settlement flag and presented himself as the most right-wing, called himself Yamina, end up in the same boat with the Muslim Brotherhood? The truth is, when you sink low enough to steal an election and become prime minister with six mandates, you have to be ready for any low that follows.
Honestly, the foundations of public trust in you already crumbled back then, Naftali, when you agreed to take the reins of power at the price of betraying all your campaign promises. But in the current situation, Naftali is going even beyond what we saw then. This isn’t just a political maneuver or coalition-building anymore.
2+This is about your full partnership with a candidate who’s being courted by the most extreme Islamic elements. Think about the enormous, incomprehensible distance—one moment leading the Yesha Council, the next moment being a partner in a party whose members are being recruited by Ra’am.
Wow… what a painful moral deterioration, what a total loss of direction by a leader who testifies about himself that he has no compass on the road to power. Tell me, Naftali, how can you look in the eyes of the public that once believed in you, when your closest partners are getting offers from the Muslim Brotherhood?
2+We know politics is an ugly, merciless arena, but this time? Reality has exceeded all imagination. And know this—when a person chooses to sacrifice his most basic values for survival? This system doesn’t show him mercy in return. It simply puts before him a sharp, exposed, harsh mirror that shows him exactly where he’s arrived and where he lost it.
Between us, Naftali? My advice? Take a pause, take a long break from public life, from the crushing politics, from the cheap lies, and try to remember where you came from, at what stage you agreed to betray everything.
