Netanyahu locks in power regardless of elections
The right-wing bloc is now mathematically tied with the anti-Netanyahu camp at 53-53 seats after Feiglin and Smotrich consolidated their forces. But the opposition refuses to work with Palestinian parties, which means no majority either way.
So Netanyahu either gets a broad coalition or stays on as caretaker through repeat elections. Either outcome keeps him in office.
The polling shows what matters more to Israeli voters: Palestinians stay subordinate. Removing Netanyahu barely registers by comparison.
