Israel’s upcoming elections: Jerusalem’s reins of power
On November 1, millions of Israelis will go to the polls and elect a new Knesset. Exactly how many millions, that is whether turnout is going to be high or low and on what sectors and population centers, could make or break the next Israeli coalition government to emerge three weeks from now, if there is no absolute deadlock, as has been the case several times over the last three years. What are the prospects for the outgoing incumbents, led by Prime Minister Yair Lapid, to protect their hold on power from a comeback by former Premier Binyamin Netanyahu, and will whoever gets to form a new government be able to stay at the helm for an entire four-year term? To ponder and predict, let’s turn to veteran observers of this serious game.
Joining us from Jerusalem is Mr. Mitchell Barak, CEO Kevoon Research Group. Also joining us from Jerusalem are Former Knesset member Dov Lipman, Founder and CEO of Yad L'Olim, and Amir Oren.
