“This is the army chief who wants Netanyahu’s job”
“Can a low-key political newcomer with long military experience to challenge the skilled maktspelaren Benjamin Netanyahu? Regardless of beds Benny Gantz into the field of politics for the most exciting elections in Israel in a decade.”
“the Palestinian villages in ruins.”
“A Hamasledares car bombed in pieces.”
“And a counter which establishes that 1 364 terrorists were killed during the war on Gaza as Benny Gantz] in the capacity of commander in chief in 2014.”
“the 59-year-old has not revealed much about his intended policies – but his military background is highlighted in the kampanjfilmer noting that the palestinian enclave”
“as late as december announced Gantz that he was going to give himself into politics, with a view to the early elections prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for 9 april. His newly founded party Hosen L’Yisrael say they want to strengthen Israel as a jewish and democratic state.”
“– Kampanjfilmerna is surprisingly hard-line, but is a way for mittenkandidaten Gantz to show that he is not the left, in an Israel where it is seen as an insult and security is an important issue for the voters, ” says Anders Persson, a political scientist focused on the Middle east at Lund university.”
” His big challenge lies in the fragmentation of the political midfield as he needs one to really be able to challenge Netanyahu.”
“The former army chief has been received with great enthusiasm among analysts. The choice is predicted to become the most exciting that has been held in the country since Netanyahu returned to the prime minister, 2009.”
“the Measurements indicate that the Gantz party can win a significant number of seats in the knesset, even if it ends up a good bit after the Netanyahu party Likud. And it has a long way to go to secure the political cooperation needed to gain a majority in the parliament.”
“– When it comes to measurements of popularity is Gantz very close to Netanyahu, which is unusual. But Netanyahu has two decisive advantages. Secondly, he leads the largest party and he also has the easiest road to form a coalition government, ” says Persson.”
“– Gantz is without a doubt the major challenger in the election, but he need to merge with other parties to grow in strength.”
“Some say that Gantz popularity based on the fact that he is seen as a breath of fresh air that has not yet been explained much about their positions on political issues. The plan is that he’ll keep his first kampanjtal on Tuesday night – and it remains to be seen how it is received among the voters.”
“Even if the opinion polls currently point to a victory for Netanyahu and Likud, backed the choice of uncertainty. The prime minister’s campaign may be damaged if the corruption charges against him leading to criminal charges. The police recommend a prosecution in three different corruption cases, but Netanyahu refuses to irregularities and seems determined to cling to power. He declared the election seven months earlier than necessary was interpreted by many as a way to try and prevent a lawsuit before the election.”
“the Decision lies with the attorney-general Avichai Mandelblit. Answer expected probably in February, and much to suggest that there will be prosecution. The prime minister has, however, made it clear that he intends to remain even if Mandelblit call for questioning.”
“– Netanyahu lands in an extremely precarious situation if he wins the election and then be indicted. But the legal mills grind slowly and no one really knows what’s going to happen. Netanyahu has long had an aura of being invincible. He has really still, but I think that it is legal is a greater threat to him than what the Gantz is, ” says Persson.”
“Benjamin Netanyahu was born in 1949 in Tel Aviv. As the leader of the party Likud, he has been the prime minister 1996 to 1999 and now since 2009. Has in recent years led a coalition which was described as the most högerinriktade in the history of Israel.”
“Netanyahu is shaded by three cases of leadership”, but denies any wrongdoing.”
“He is suspected of, inter alia, have received gifts in the form of jewelry, cigars and champagne from the Hollywoodproducenten Arnon Milchan and a billionaire in Australia, James Packer. The gifts that Netanyahu and his wife Sara to have received between 2007 and 2016 is worth over two million, according to the police recommend prosecution for corruption. In contrast to Netanyahu, among other things, have helped Milchan to get in the enjoyment of tax benefits in Israel.”
“The other two cases of suspected corruption revolves around the way Netanyahu tried to stop secret contracts, barter and negotiate with different companies in order to get better and more positive publicity in the israeli press. The case revolves around the the newspaper Yediot Aharonot, respectively, the telecommunications company Bezeq.”
