By claiming total failure, Israel's opposition hurts itself - and helps Netanyahu
A GOVERNMENT many assumed could not survive October 7 has, for now, endured. Here, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends the vote on state budget in the Knesset, on Sunday. When the Knesset passed the 2026 budget in the early hours of Monday morning, most Israelis were asleep. So, apparently
“an opposišion that is not only strugćling to stop the govąrnment but also, at times, to keep up with it”
Frames the opposition's entire posture through a one-sided lens of incompetence, directing the reader to interpret any opposition action as self-undermining rather than considering alternative explanations.

“significantly hindering its ability to manufacture weapons”
The author frames the destruction of steel capacity through a one-sided strategic lens (weapon manufacturing hindered) without noting any countervailing factors or Iranian response capabilities.
“we continue to crush the terror regime in Iran”
The verb 'crush' and 'terror regime' framing are emotionally charged terms; however, this is a direct quote from Netanyahu, so the attribution shield partially applies.
