Four years have passed since the last Israeli election, a period of relative political stability in Israel's recent history. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "full right-wing government" served its entire term, marking an unusually stable period of nearly 40 years for Israeli governance. However, this governmental longevity belies the significant political turmoil and chaos that preceded it, including five elections within four years. The nation also navigated a global pandemic that reshaped political dynamics and faced a "Black October" event, the narrative of which remains a subject of ongoing contention.
A special project titled "The Chosen People" explores shifts in voter sentiment over the years and the consolidation of political blocs. It examines the rise of the "generals' party" that competed through multiple election cycles, the political maneuver involving Benny Gantz in the "rotation government," and the ongoing battle over the narrative surrounding the "full right-wing" government.
This project, reported by Yair Sherki, delves into the complexities of Israeli politics, highlighting the enduring divisions and the constant struggle for political dominance and narrative control.
