Four years have passed since Israelis last voted, a significant period in the country's political history. The "Full Right" government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, served its full term, marking a rare period of stability lasting nearly 40 years. This stability, however, belies the preceding political turmoil, which included five elections in four years, the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing narrative battle over the "Black October" events. A special project titled "The Chosen People" explores shifts in voter allegiances over time, questioning whether these represent genuine changes or simply a regrouping of political blocs. The project also examines the "generals' party" that competed in several election rounds, Benny Gantz's political maneuverings during the "rotation government," and the contest over the narrative surrounding the "Full Right" government. Reporter Yair Sherki contributed to the "Central Edition" of this project.
