Analysis by Ambassador Michael Oren | Instagram
Executive Summary
In a series of short videos on the eve of Israel’s election, Ambassador Michael Oren explains the arithmetic of coalition-building, the resilience of Israeli democracy, and whether the vote will shift how the world sees Israel.
- Coalition Math: With 34 parties on the ballot covering the whole political spectrum, Oren breaks down what it will take to form a governing coalition.
- A Democracy Under Fire: Israel is one of the very few countries never to have known a moment of non-democratic rule — and the only one among them never to have known a moment of peace.
- Israel’s Global Image: Oren asks whether the outcome of the election will materially change the perception of Israel in the world.
