- Advertisement -The only suspense for much of the Israeli public and Israel’s supporters in the USA is whether this election will finally finish off Benjamin Netanyahu or give him yet another term as Prime Minister. Since he’s been Prime Minister for 15 of the past 25 years – including the last 12 years – this election is really all about Netanyahu. There are, of course, other issues in this election, maybe the most significant of which is the alliance Netanyahu has made with the ultra-Orthodox parties. Many of Israel’s liberal supporters in the USA believe that a Netanyahu defeat will be important to restore support for Israel among Democrats. For Palestinians and their supporters, it is bewildering to hear commentators in the USA refer to this election as being one that pits the right-wing (Netanyahu and the religious parties) against a center-left coalition.
