Katz's "Boom Boom" was in the faces of the rest of the party members

It turns out we all misunderstood the "boom boom" video that the Minister of Defense released yesterday, as part of his transformation into a character worse than from a Marvel comic. If we thought Israel Katz was trying to impress Likud members ahead of the primaries (or what's left of them) in less than a week, Tuesday morning arrived and revealed that the "boom boom" was in the faces of the rest of the party members, who woke up to discover that the Prime Minister had secured for him another reserved spot beyond the eight already given to him.

The excuse for the move, "to allow him to deal with security needs," could have crashed the stock markets, had the market not already understood that the connection between Katz and security is anyway similar to the relationship between Donald Trump and broccoli. In fact, the surprise blow Netanyahu dealt to his party — at least on this front of the fight he still manages to scheme without needing approval from daddy in Washington — teaches not only about the ridiculousness of Katz, who apparently did not trust that famous "charming smile" one hundred percent, but about real panic in the party leadership from the effect of the "Gottlieb Hurricane" on the votes that will decide the election.

It is no wonder that the MK, who became incredibly popular under the auspices of countless hours of screen time on Channel 14, rushed to attack Katz (who signed the confidentiality certificate that allows her to be prosecuted). She understands very well who is the "boom boom" in the Likud of 2026 and who is not. This is also true for the rest of the reserved spots so far: Minister Gideon Sa'ar, who returned to Likud crawling on his belly, needed shelter in the party bunker in exchange for his defection, while leaving his friends hungry in a post-apocalyptic world. Minister Haim Katz, who was more preoccupied with deals than with the four ministries he manages, was also tucked into the corner of the "arranged" in the dead of night.

For now, the only external reservee is a high-tech entrepreneur who infected the internet with the venereal disease of browsers — toolbars that are very difficult to remove. Of course, his last name is Dubronsky, as befits the "Second Israel" party, which fights hegemony using the best white men. It is interesting what will happen when Trump's circle hears what Netanyahu's new darling thinks of him. As is known, he is not at all sensitive to insults.

However, even if Netanyahu's remaining reserved spots are used for slightly fresher figures, it is nothing more than a Botox injection to try and hide a tattoo: the populist and Kahanist drift in Likud was not born with Tali Gottlieb. Likud members should feel betrayed not only because of the ongoing operation to uproot their power in shaping the list for the Knesset: it was not they who forced Netanyahu to adopt a radical doctrine against the "Deep State" alongside a disturbed family personality cult, but Netanyahu and his circle are the ones who chose to release all restraints. Now Netanyahu is amazed to discover that the tiger does not like being treated like a neutered cat.
