Former Jerusalem Post editor-in-chief Avi Mayer stated that the Netanyahu government is the most right-wing and religious government in Israel's history. He noted that a series of experiences, from the Second Intifada, waves of terror attacks, and the failed disengagement from Gaza, to the October 7 massacre that killed over 1,200 Israelis, "truly shattered the Israeli left," leading to "the demise of any hope for a two-state solution." Mayer added that despite an "undeniable rightward shift" in Israel, the far-right coalition's total vote share in the last election was approximately 10%, with 90% of Israelis rejecting its views, and is not expected to see significant growth in the upcoming elections.
