Is Netanyahu Finished?

Peloni:  Fleisher asks many hard questions of Netanyahu, while noting the important role and result which he has produced.  Ultimately, he asks the significant question of whether it might be time for new leadership for the country, and this question more than any other raised, has serious implications no matter which path is pursued.

Should Israel be led by new leadership at this critical moment, who might be the proper choice?  Should it be one of the members of the Right from the Bennet-Lapid govt which empowered the Left and rewarded the Arabs following the 2021 War of Riots & Rockets?  Or perhaps the so called center such as Gantz who acted as Biden’s lap dog should be chosen instead?  Should it be some new member of the general staff which has been too strongly tied to the American perspective to properly support the govt throughout the war?  Should it come from the likes of Ben Gvir whose delegitimization has been a fascination among so many, even as he has too often supported the right path such as advocating for Pal emigration long before Trump or anyone else daring to do so?  Or should it come from some yet to be discovered leader among the heart of Israel’s society which embodied the resolve of the nation to not surrender to terror or the West as they formed the heart of Israel’s defense and sacrifices over the last year?  Or should Bibi be maintained in place to stabilize the chaos and deal with the West in the fashion which he has achieved over the past year and a half.  The answer to this single question will come to dictate the shape of the future for the entire region, as well as the context in which Israel sits within that future.  Choose wisely.
