Bye Bye, Bibi? BIBI'S COALITION CRACKING AS ALLIES TURN ON PM

Bibi's fragile coalition hangs by a thread, with growing sentiment that we are heading back to elections way ahead of schedule.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is on the verge of collapse as key allies threaten to jump ship.

Aryeh Deri's ultra-Orthodox Shas party is signaling a break from Netanyahu, while firebrand far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir launches blistering attacks, accusing Shas of "cozying up to terror supporters."

As reported by Maariv, political analysts describe the current state as "dynamics" - one step before disintegration. While it's uncertain if the government will fall, there's growing speculation that elections might occur well before the scheduled autumn 2026 date.

As tensions escalate, and with his former allies now circling like sharks, Netanyahu's long-time reign might be over very soon. But during his long political career, which has been fraught with difficulty, we have seen him pull rabbits out of his hat more than once. Will he be able to pull off another miracle or is it well and truly the end?
