Who Could Become Israel’s Next Prime Minister After Benjamin Netanyahu?

CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News /Agencies/ Bhopal: Amid discussions over the future of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israeli politics, the question of who could take charge of the country if he moves out of power has become significant. In a possible leadership change, the role of opposition leaders, electoral equations and the ability to secure a majority in parliament are being seen as important.

Benjamin Netanyahu has been one of the most influential leaders in Israeli politics. However, his policies and leadership have drawn both support and opposition within the country. In such a situation, political discussions over his possible alternatives may intensify. Leaders such as Yair Lapid, Naftali Bennett, Benny Gantz, Gadi Eisenkot and Avigdor Lieberman could figure in discussions as possible options. However, it would be premature to consider any of them the next prime minister at this stage.

Former prime minister Yair Lapid has played an important role in opposition politics. Naftali Bennett, meanwhile, has experience of running a government, and his possible political return could influence electoral equations. Former defence minister Benny Gantz is also considered an important political face because of his experience in national security and military matters. Gadi Eisenkot’s profile has also been associated with security and military experience, while Avigdor Lieberman has been active in Israeli politics for a long time.

In Israel, the decision on the prime minister’s post is not based only on individual popularity. It also depends on election results, support in parliament and the ability to form a coalition. Therefore, before identifying Netanyahu’s possible successor, it will be necessary to understand the strategies of political parties and future electoral equations.

For now, these leaders can be seen as possible alternatives, but the final picture will become clear only after election results and the process of government formation. Coming developments in Israeli politics will decide who may get the responsibility of leadership after Netanyahu.
