Analysis

Haviv Rettig Gur

The Israeli left has lost more than an election

A strange thing happened last Tuesday. As the election results came in, two things became clear. One, Netanyahu’s rightist-religious bloc had won a sweeping, unassailable victory. Two, it had done so without fundamentally changing the actual numbers of votes. Two political parties, progressive-Zionist Meretz and Palestinian-nationalist Balad, failed to meet the 3.25 percent vote minimum required to enter the Knesset,... Continue Reading

How Netanyahu and his allies won by a knockout: The data

After four years of continuous campaigning and five election cycles, finally an election has ended in a knockout. While coalition negotiations are yet to formally begin and more surprises could theoretically be in store, it is now highly likely that Netanyahu will get his wish and be able to form a right-wing coalition. Much has... Continue Reading

Analysis

Netanyahu may have no choice but to give Ben Gvir the Public Security Ministry

One of the biggest disappointments for Likud lawmakers is the size of Benjamin Netanyahu's victory in last week's elections. The 64 seats won by the Likud-led bloc obliterated the leverage of Netanyahu's own MKs, and at the same time ensured that he cannot afford to risk alienating his presumptive coalition partners. The decision by leaders of the far-right Religious Zionism and... Continue Reading

By Carrie Keller-Lynn

Marking 27 years since the assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, outgoing premier Yair Lapid, who lost in last week's elections, warned that political polarization and hatred were at a critical juncture. "We have to decide now, at this moment, where the country is headed," Lapid said at... Continue Reading

Balad’s solo run showed what may be possible, but it came up fatally short this time

Israel's Arab citizens can hardly be satisfied with the results of Tuesday night's election as they await the formation of a new government that will give their parties none of the space required to exercise meaningful influence. The number of Arab-party representatives in the Knesset stayed steady at 10 -- this time, five seats apiece... Continue Reading
