Media commentator Eliraz Sade published a sharp political analysis focused on former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's return to the center of the political stage, casting doubt on his ability to maintain momentum through election day on Tuesday.
"Bennett manages to come back from the dead," Sade wrote. "He already touched single digits and got a balloon of oxygen, the question is whether he'll have air left until the ballot box? After all, everyone remembers that Bennett is strong in polls and weak on election day. One move by Eisenkot or Liberman, a 90th-minute flash from Netanyahu, or an awakening by Winter and Zelekha --- and Bennett softens."
According to Sade, Bennett's political and personal pattern is characterized by quick achievements that don't hold over time: "And why does this happen? Bennett knows how to market a product short-term. Even in the company where he made an exit, he did it in six years, bim bam boom. He's a success but short-term, he manages to ride a need and the moment there's a click something happens, either with him or with the voters, meteoric disappointment. Gone."
