Analysis of how Israeli politics actually works—and what is likely to happen next.
A weekly briefing on the structure and direction of Israeli politics ahead of the 2026 elections.
Israeli politics is often presented simply as a clash of ideologies: right vs. left, security vs. restraint, personalities vs. parties.
This analysis focuses on the underlying structure:
- how coalitions are formed
- how decisions are made
- how power is constrained and exercised
- and why outcomes often diverge from stated intentions
The goal is not to react to events, but to understand them before they happen.
