The common denominator among all of these politicians is the sense that the Netanyahu era is over. This is not an ideological debate. Each of them has years of working with Netanyahu, either in the same party or the same government. Nor is it isolated incident, or sudden, like winter floods in the Negev. This has been a long process. Six consecutive years in power have taken their toll, both on Netanyahu and on his colleagues. His authority has waned, his performance has suffered, his political senses dulled. He is sick of his ministers and his ministers are sick of him.
