Israel’s political system is effectively broken. Thirteen of the nearly forty political parties that ran managed to cross the threshold and earn seats in the new Knesset. The result of the fourth election in two years clearly points to the dysfunction of Israel’s political system and the many fault lines of Israel’s democracy. It is time for Israel to think of the future—and the future does not bode well for Israel as long as such a huge minority is not integrated into Israel’s socio-economic and political streams. Indeed, Israel is in desperate need of another Ben-Gurion or Rabin—a morally imbued leader with a vision, who will fight for Israel’s future wellbeing and its very soul.
