Netanyahu Finally Wins Israel’s Elections, Set to Form Large Center-Right Government
Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, who hasn’t slowed down during an extended campaign season, remains in office for the next 18 months. Israel is much better off for it.
Back from the Brink
Until Benny Gantz threw his political lot in with the right-wing coalition, it would be little exaggeration to say that the entire Zionist endeavor was poised on a knife edge.
Israel’s Coalition Crisis Deepens with High Court Ruling on Knesset Speaker
Just as Israel is forced to deal with what is quickly ballooning into the largest health and economic crisis in its history, a political crisis is shaking the very foundations of Israel’s system of governance, and rapidly eroding the trust of its beleaguered citizenry.
How We Are
Protecting us from the threats of our neighbors, our son the paratrooper expects to be in the army for at least a month without being able to come home; not for Shabbat and not for the Passover seder.
Benny Gantz and the Pyromaniacs
Amid a global pandemic, the threat of war with Iran and economic collapse, Israel’s Blue and White Party is dead set on bringing Netanyahu down—even if it means taking Israel down with him.
‘Constitutional’ Sabotage of the Democratic Process
The Israeli left’s anti-Bibi bills show that they now believe there are no implicit constitutional limitations on majority rule—at least while they have the majority.

Israel’s Arab Problem
Giving the Joint List the influence they could have would not only be dangerous to Israel, but be short lived because no Israeli government in any good conscience would truly allow Israel to be undermined these ways.
No, Not all Votes are Equal
Blue and White persists in an obsessive effort to include the inimical Joint Arab List in determining the fate of the Jewish nation-state.
Is Netanyahu’s Significant Victory Sufficient?
The significance of this election—the third in less than a year—lies in its elements of surprise. In the first place, voter turnout reached 71 percent, the highest in 21 years.
