מדוע בנימין נתניהו עדיין ראש ממשלה
Benjamin Netanyahu remains Prime Minister because his right wing coalition controls a parliamentary majority and no viable political alternative has emerged to displace him.
Despite sustained criticism over October 7 intelligence failures, his government has retained sufficient support to govern.

יציבות קואליציונית
Netanyahu leads a 68 seat coalition in the 120 seat Knesset comprising right wing and ultra orthodox parties with aligned interests in settlement policy and military operations. Early elections remain unlikely absent major coalition collapse, which coalition members have shown no inclination to trigger.
Contested Record on Security
Israelis have grappled with reports that Netanyahu received warnings of October 7 attacks years in advance, and security officials documented intelligence failures preceding the assault. These controversies have constrained his political standing to a 52 out of 100 influence score. However, his government's military response in Gaza has satisfied his coalition partners and prevented the parliamentary arithmetic needed to force new elections.
