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?
