The con­se­quences of sab­o­tag­ing a deal with Iran would be dire for Is­rael.

The new Is­raeli coali­tion gov­ern­ment will face per­sis­tent at­tempts by Ne­tanyahu and his sup­port­ers to un­der­mine it.

By let­ting vi­o­lence es­ca­late, the out­go­ing prime min­is­ter is sab­o­tag­ing the for­ma­tion of a cab­i­net by the op­po­si­tion.

Is­rael’s de­mo­c­ra­t­ic sys­tem con­tin­ues to erode as Ne­tanyahu does every­thing and any­thing to avoid prison.

On the eve of its fourth elec­tion in two years, Is­rael is still not talk­ing about the is­sues that re­al­ly mat­ter.

There is a grow­ing per­cep­tion that the Is­raeli ul­tra-Or­tho­dox Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ty is not abid­ing by anti-pan­dem­ic mea­sures.

Ne­tanyahu’s down­fall might mark the rise of an­oth­er Is­raeli leader, even more right-wing than him.

While seek­ing nor­mal­i­sa­tion of re­la­tions abroad, the Is­raeli PM is sow­ing eth­nic ten­sions at home.

The mis­han­dling of the pan­dem­ic fall­out and his bid for ear­ly elec­tions could bring down the Is­raeli prime min­is­ter.

The Is­raeli prime min­is­ter has bro­ken with the Is­raeli right-wing pol­i­cy of creep­ing an­nex­a­tion. Why the shift?
