Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking reelection amid challenges from a fragmented right-wing base and international dissatisfaction with his far-right administration. He is urging hard-line allies to merge into larger blocs to avoid failing the 3.25% parliamentary threshold. Simultaneously, he is employing a populist strategy of self-victimization to deflect responsibility for security failures and actions in Gaza.
