In about 24 hours, poles will open here in Israel. In what is a strong contender for Israel’s most critical elections. The election pits Netanyahu’s extremely unpopular coalition against a non-coherent, but moderately more liberal, opposition. Here are some thoughts as we head into it.

Good thread on the upcoming Israeli elections.

tldr: there are 3 blocks: (1) pro-Netanyahu, (2) anti-Netanyahu, (3) Arab parties, and none will have a majority.

Given that both Jewish blocks have strong far-right parties in them, neither wants to work with the Arab parties.

Ahead of tomorrow's elections in Israel, I assess how much difference a government headed by Gadi Eisenkot will make for Arab states:

Arab governments may view a victory by Israeli opposition leader Gadi as desirable, but high risks lie ahead

This is a good primer on Israel's political situation going into tomorrow's election. But I'd like to go deeper on something he only touches on, which is that part of the reason for Israel's electoral doldrums (and resulting geopolitical chaos) is its broken political system bsky.app/profile/avis...
