Annette Young is pleased to welcome Alain Greilsammer, Professor of Political Science at Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv. In the wake of the October 7 attacks, regional tensions with Iran, and deepening domestic divisions, Greilsammer argues that the election will be fundamentally shaped by concerns over democratic accountability, judicial independence and the unequal distribution of civic obligations. He warns Netanyahu’s policies risk transforming Israel into “something like an authoritarian or non-democratic state.” He suggests that Israel’s Arab political parties could play a decisive role in determining the election’s outcome.
