  • Can anyone actually beat Netanyahu?

    Can anyone actually beat Netanyahu?
    May 7 2026
    Bennett is climbing in the polls. Lapid agreed to drop to third on the list. Smotrich called partnering with an Arab party worse than October 7.

    Is Benjamin Netanyahu's nearly 15-year Likud dynasty finally cracking? In this episode of The Deep Dive, Jerusalem Post host Jacob Laznik sits down with Jerusalem Post Knesset and political correspondent Keshet Neev to unpack one of the most consequential weeks in Israeli politics since October 7. Fresh off a one-on-one interview with former prime minister Naftali Bennett, Neev shares what he told her, including his blunt verdict that Israeli transportation is "a third world country" and that National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is "a clown."

    She breaks down the Bennett-Lapid technical merger, why Lapid stepped aside to make room for Gadi Eisenkot, the AI-generated attack ads now flooding Israeli campaigns, and why Benny Gantz's once-dominant party is "dropping like flies" before a single ballot is cast.
