Tuesday's election will not only be a contest between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz but also between their American pollsters.
John McLaughlin stood beside Netanyahu in a video he posted on Friday explaining why Otzma Yehudit would not cross the 3.25% electoral threshold. In explaining why he was so sure, Netanyahu pointed at McLaughlin and said that he was the pollster for US president Donald Trump.
Blue and White's American strategist Joel Benenson also made the news this past week, when Netanyahu accused him of being behind a false report in Politico accusing Israel of spying in Washington. Blue and White vigorously denied the accusation.
Benenson led the award-winning research and polling programs for President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns and is the only Democratic pollster in history to have played a leading role in three winning presidential campaigns. He also worked on President Bill Clinton’s team during his successful 1996 race, but he did not succeed at senior strategist for Hillary Clinton three years ago.

*Amen*
I hope Bibi wins.
There was a story last week where Bibi is quoted as saying he expects to lose. Sad.
I understand that Bibi is a Levite.

Likud and Blue-White are talking ‘unity’ (that means Leftist) government without the leadership of either Netanyahu or Gantz. Weird as it gets!
