Who is the winner, if a government of change is established?

Sherry Roth: I would focus on Avigdor Lieberman, both because he received the most spoils, and also because he was the first to come and say: True, I'm right-wing, but I'm 'anti-Bibi.'.

It was a little after the first round, when even we journalists weren't sure that he had given Bibi a divorce decree. He had blurred it out and said: 'If the Haredim agree to such-and-such a draft law...''

It turns out that the decision was already in his heart at that time. There was also a secret meeting between him and Yair Lapid, and apparently they already agreed on this step.

Many times I stood and wondered, even in my conversations with him, what he thought of this nonsense. I thought he would return to the right-wing bloc, accept positions, return to being defense minister, he was a good defense minister. But he was stubborn in his opinion, and we will probably see his victory soon.

I see him as the big winner.
