"The collapse of public confidence in Netanyahu (New Event) runs parallel to his high-level diplomatic engagements with the US (Event 10). While the diplomatic meeting suggests international support or coordination, the domestic polling indicates severe internal political instability, highlighting a divergence between external diplomatic posture and internal political reality."
"The unpopularity of key ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir mentioned in the New Event is directly related to the actions of settler activists demanding expansion (Event 7). These activists often align with the political factions of these ministers, and their aggressive demands contribute to the political polarization and instability described in the new event."
