Likud can break the political logjam, avoid an election that no one wants, and guarantee itself a share of power by ditching a leader who is under indictment and making a deal with Blue and White. You would think that would be an easy decision, but it seems not.
If, under the circumstances, the leadership makes the deal, you can say that Likud is a normal political party. If they ignore the interests of the entire membership, let alone the nation, solely to assist Bibi, it is a cult.
