Yossi Alpher, Israeli security expert, in Hard Questions, Tough Answers, in response to the question who will win Israel's election on September 17.

Views and positions expressed here are those of the writer, and do not necessarily represent APN's views and policy positions. Q.

A. ...Netanyahu's initiative is a transparent attempt, taking a leaf from President Trump, to delegitimize in advance an election that Netanyahu fears he will lose... Q.

A. ...the security establishments in both countries are wary of such an undertaking... Q. What's the meaning of the resignation of Jason Greenblatt, Trump's chief Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiator? A. It appears to reinforce the sense that there really is no “deal of the century”... Q. Finally, the most troublesome question of all: who will win the election on September 17? A. I don't know. No one knows...
