Attacking Channel 12 journalist Amit Segal could cost Naftali Bennett in the polls and his political future. Bennett's strategy of maintaining silence has been effective, but his recent attack on Segal may change the course of his political career. While polls suggest that Bennett's new party would win in new elections, there are flaws in that assumption. Elections are not happening soon, and Bennett's polling numbers have historically underperformed. Additionally, attacking Segal may alienate potential voters and be seen as an unforced political error.
