Ayelet Shaked Says Netanyahu Should Go, Predicts No Election Winner

Former justice and interior minister Ayelet Shaked said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "should go," citing both responsibility and blame for the October 7 attack. She predicted neither political bloc would win or form a government in the coming election and said she was looking instead toward the following round. Shaked said many right-wing voters lacked a political choice because the current government had produced severe division and social fracture. She said she remained in real estate after concluding that voters and candidates did not support the unity-party compromise she had sought, and accused Netanyahu of boycotting his opponents while objecting when they boycott him.
