maybe he mean the the mortality rates. If you look at Euromomo, there were no excess deaths before the beginning of vaccine campaign, but Israel(and Estonia, (no vaccine correlation in this case) are the only countries with excess deaths in 2021

Everybody needs a change. However you see Netanyahu, it would be better to see a new face instead.
Few stick around as long as he has in any democracy

now we know the results and they are – inconclusive, which is no surprise as Israel has a dysfunctional electoral system,in addition to a dysfunctional government.
The electoral system is ancient, obsolete, an inheritance from the original zionist congresses of the early 20th century, when there were no individual constituencies, just parties.
But the party system gives the average citizen no-one to talk to personally, there is no representative for “west Tel Aviv” or “east Haifa” or “south Beersheba” and so the parliament is profoundly unrepresentative by western standards.
Netanyahu’s party has stuck together, unlike other parties that have come and gone, even Ben Gurion’s original party the left-wing Mapai has long vanished. At each election, a new party appears on the scene, hoping to galvanize the quite passionate yet uninvolved electorate – and doesn’t survive.
In this latest election, it seems as if the media completely ignored any serious discussions of policy, focusing entirely on “Bibi (the shortened form of Binyamin Netanyahu) Yes” versus “Bibi No”, that, to many educated people of western backgrounds, was playing down to the lowest personal element, ignoring some of the real issues Israel has to face.
What eventually happens in this dysfunctional situation, is that after the election representatives of the parties gather behind closed doors and try to make deals, offering seats of power and privilege in exchange for agreeing to support party ‘a’ or ‘b’ and last time this resulted in a bloated very costly and totally ineffective pseudo-government.
Unless some people are ready to swallow their excessive self-esteem and agree to co-operate for the good of the country as a whole, a very similar outcome will be the result this time.
I have no idea what success or victory you are talking about.. people in Israel are suffering as everywhere in the world..

What is that old rhyme about clinging to nurse for fear of something worse?
