The meeting held last night (Motzei Shabbos) between leaders of the Change Bloc parties, just one month before the official opening of the 2026 elections, drew sharp criticism from political experts who analyzed the internal power dynamics and the control battles expected to unfold.
Attorney Guy Busi, an expert in constitutional and administrative law, speaking alongside strategic adviser Ronen Tzur with Gideon Oku and Amihai Atali on 103fm, addressed the expected dynamics among the bloc's leaders: "There are about 0.75 mandates of soft right-wing voters currently torn between Eisenkot and Bennett. Bennett believes he can be prime minister, he has the most experience and he convinced Lieberman of this. The two of them made one partnership, and the moment it's over, they'll tell Eisenkot 'we're prime ministers in rotation.' He knows this. Do you think he'll sit quietly and accept it?"
He attacked the conduct of the opposition leaders and the document signed at the meeting: "Sometimes it seems to me that whoever is managing them could manage a kiosk. The seats they're looking for in the Knesset are in the soft right and the traditional right, but they don't miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. In the last month you need to be with a knife between your teeth. This document is really nothing and nothing, and the moves they're making will force them to fight each other. This agreement is a major mistake. Keep being nice --- and Netanyahu will continue to be prime minister for several more terms."
