Israeli elections 2022: Making sense of the results

An EMET webinar.

On November 1, the citizens of Israel went to the polls and clearly elected a more right-wing government.

Likud, together with other members of the right-wing parties received 65 seats of the 120 in the parliament. In this webinar, JNS CEO Alex Traiman answers the following questions:

  • What are some of the reasons why the Israeli people have decided to cast their votes to the right?
  • Who will be part of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s cabinet?
  • How will this government differ from the last in terms of Israel’s national security interests, the increasing wave of terrorism from the Palestinians, and the threat from Iran?
  • Many on the left are somewhat hysterical that this election bodes the end of Israeli democracy. How does one respond to such allegations?
  • How will this election affect the structure of the Israeli Supreme Court?
  • How will this election affect relationships with the international community as a whole, the Biden administration, with the countries that have signed the Abraham Accords?

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem reported that Natufian hunter-gatherers produced 142 beads and pendants uncovered by archaeologists.
Bar-Ilan University researcher Anat Fanti: “Israel’s results reflect resilience, but not the psychological cost of war.”
Despite significant degradation, Israeli observers warn that Hezbollah retains the capability for localized cross-border raids.
“This could have been the greatest terrorist tragedy in America since 9/11,” Eric Fingerhut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, told JNS.
The outcomes of the primaries show that “being pro-America, pro-Israel is good policy and good politics,” the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
The memo calls on the party to be aware of “the strategic goal of groypers across the nation” to take over the Republican party from within.
