In fact sales are spiking. People cooped up? Algorithmic mischief? Who knows?
Meanwhile, the Arab Joint List, 15 seats in all, has backed Gantz and the Blue and Whites. We're getting close to driving Bibi down.
Gantz would need a Knesset majority made up of his Blue and White (33 seats), the hawkish Yisrael Beytenu (7 seats) and dovish Labor and Meretz (6 seats without Gesher leader Orly Levy-Abekasis), with support from outside of the coalition from the Arab lawmakers of the Joint List (15 seats).
If all those parties recommend him to form the next government, even without becoming part of it, he would have the backing of 61 MKs compared to 58 for Netanyahu from Likud (36), the ultra-Orthodox Shas (9) and United Torah Judaism (7) parties, and the right-wing Yamina (6).
Liberman hates the Arabs, so I don't know how he joins a government with them. But still, with him and Bibi, it's personal.
In the meantime:
