The Netanyahu plan to turn this loss into a victory has the following components:
1) Continue to completely deligitimize any cooperation with the Arab parties as a betrayal of the Jewish people, making the idea of a minority government with Raam and the Joint List too toxic to consider. It is working.
2) Focus on bringing Bennet and Liberman into the coalition by contrasting ruling with the right to ruling with the Arabs and leveraging security crises to do so. Possible turn to Eizenkot as well.
3) He is not afraid of another round of elections which will leave him in power at least until spring. At that time Arab enthusiasm will wane, fewer Israelis will come back from abroad to vote, Winter will not run again, turnout will go down and he will do better. That gives him leverage.
4) Use security crises, especially a war in Iran, and support from Trump to leverage and force Bennet, Liberman, and Eizenkot in for "patriotic" reasons.
His hapless rivals see it coming and cannot stop it. Like a fly trapped in the web of a spider, they can struggle, but they cannot get away.
