Reply to comment by [deleted] in Thousands rally in Tel Aviv against Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul | Further demonstrations come after Israeli prime minister vowed to press on with changes despite international concern by misana123

Another Israeli here. Lapid is a clown, but a 1,000,000 times better than the corrupted Bibi. He is also the second most popular candidate after Bibi by far, got 850K votes to Bibi's 1.1M last election.

But it's just personal opinions of course, many Israelis love Lapid and they have pretty good reasons for it.

Could Lapid have a path back to power, if for some reason Netenyahu resigns?

For sure. If there are elections right now, there's a very good chance Lapid will end up as PM.

But assuming Netanyahu will ever resign is a stretch. He will only stop if his government will lose majority.

I know some members of his coalition are starting to break with him, could they resign, and cost him his majority?

100%, but none of them talked about resigning from the government, just not agree to vote for his "Reform".

Could this start some sort of chain of events that will make them resign or Bibi to fire them? Maybe. But I doubt it. Though that will be extremely good!

Agreed, that would be good, if they forced Bibi to fire them.

Lapid is a populist and a lier, basically a lot like Bibi but without jail hovering over his head.

When Bibi leaves, we HAVE to introduce term limits on our PMs.

Which is what Lapid advocates for. He suggested limits to PM already a while ago. I think he’s the best option we have

Honestly, anything they say is meaningless. It only matters on the rare occasions they follow through.
