An opinion piece published in an Israeli newspaper confirmed yesterday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must be concerned about his future after US President Donald Trump lost the last presidential elections.

Baruch Leshem wrote in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper that although the backgrounds of Trump and Netanyahu differ completely, their political style converged a lot.

He added, "If either of them encounters a truth that he does not like, he immediately describes it as" fake news, "and both of them see that there is no need to deal with the facts, when you can claim that those who are promoting it are the liberals and the left."

"Each of them is desperately trying to stay in power, and fight the so-called (deep state), a gang of progressives and leftists, trying to sell their countries to Iran, China, the Arabs of Israel, and ISIS," he added.

Trump and Netanyahu are also using their "enormous media power to sow discord in order to strengthen their electoral base."

And the writer considered that all these matters also had a price, as it "awakened the hesitant moderate voters and motivated them to vote." And the writer added that Trump ultimately lost the elections when his opponent, President-elect Joe Biden, managed to attract voters to cast their votes in numbers that had not been recorded since. Nearly a century ago, they were completely impatient with Trump, due to his never-ending wave of lies and insults.

The writer pointed out that despite the difference between Israel and the United States, Netanyahu may find himself on the path leading to the same result.

He pointed out that "although Netanyahu's electoral base is still with him, the voters of the center and the left have changed their tactics." And he added, "Those who usually sit in front of the TV in their homes, lamenting the current situation or reminiscent of the old days, have reached the boiling point."

He said, "They are taking out now in large numbers in the demonstrations taking place in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and all over Israel, in numbers not seen in years."

He stressed that "the endless wave of deceit, lies and insults on the part of Netanyahu has made them out of patience as well."

Those who usually sit in front of television in their homes, lamenting the current situation or remembering the sadness of the "old days", have reached the boiling point.
