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?

Dr. Phil, who moderated the event, told JNS that faith is a “foundation” and “moral compass” in difficult times.
“Perhaps he will stop his relentless incitement, hatred and blood libels against the State of Israel,” the Israeli consul general in New York stated.
The Jewish state lowered its flags to half-staff at 6:29 a.m. to launch commemorations honoring fallen soldiers and victims of the 2023 assault.
The policy goes “far beyond the boundaries of legitimate political debate,” the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem said.
