“Iran’s membership is an ugly stain on the Commission’s credibility. In our view, it cannot stand. And while Iran’s systemic oppression of women is not new, thanks to the bravery of the Iranian people, the regime’s abuses have been brought to the fore.”

—US Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas Greenfield on Iran’s membership on the UN Commission on the Status of Women

After five election cycles, the Israeli public and the Middle East may finally get what they most needed: a stable Israeli government. A mixture of failure on the part of Israel’s left-wing coalition and political shrewdness from right-wing politicians is managing to return Netanyahu to power, likely with a more stable mandate than he managed to have in years. Partisanship aside, this is a very good development in an increasingly changing international political situation that needs stable and confident decision-makers. The Israeli public made itself clear no matter what grievances those on the left might have.

On November 1st the citizens of Israel went to the polls and have spoken. They clearly elected a more right-wing government. Likud, together with other members of the right-wing parties received 65 seats, of the 120 in their Parliament, the Knesset, which is a clear majority and a 20-seat advantage over the left. What are some of the reasons why the Israeli people have decided to cast their votes to the right? Who will be part of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s cabinet? How will this government differ from the last in terms of Israel’s national security interests, the increasing wave of terrorism from the Palestinians, and the threat from Iran? Many on the left are somewhat hysterical that this election bodes the end of Israeli democracy. How does one respond to such allegations? How will this election affect the structure of the Israeli Supreme Court? How will this election affect relationships with the international community as a whole, the Biden administration, with the countries that have
signed the Abraham Accords?

Here to answer these questions and more is Alex Traiman
