1. Netanyahu overstayed his welcome. After 26 years in politics, 14 years in the cabinet and almost 9 years as prime minister, Israelis are on the lookout for someone new. The slogan “anyone but Netanyahu” seemed to work the last time Netanyahu lost in 1999; it may be due for a comeback. 2. The downward spiral in Netanyahu’s approval rating could turn out to be a harbinger of things to come. Netanyahu has dived from 77% approval in early August to 38% in last week’s Haaretz poll, with no guarantee that he has hit rock bottom. His misplaced sense of timing may have brought Netanyahu to call early elections just as the public’s fatigue from his leadership reached a critical mass.
