An interesting question now is does the EU, UK, Canada, Australia and America engage with Ben Gvir? I can't see how we can. Especially given I'm not sure what Israel can offer us to make such a prospect more palatable. I mean, it's not like Ben gvir is going to have a role in foreign policy. |

Looks like RZ finished (2nd place after Likud) ahead of YA among Soldiers and almost certainly among Young people in general.
Note: decent Chance Lapid finished in 6th place among voters under the age of 25….

Meretz is officially done for. Ding dong, the cockroach is dead! Do you really think a supposedly pluralist democracy where all available parties are either right wing, right of centre, or reflect religious or communal minorities is healthy? I think it's an inevitability of religiously defined states. |

Meretz is officially done for.Ding dong, the cockroach is dead! Which is a shame. I'm a Zionist and I am sympathetic to Likud, but Israel needs a strong peace party to stop silly suicidal ideas like the wholescale annexation of Judea and Samaria. I would also be interested to know whether the incident in Netanya on polling day affected the Meretz vote. Even a slight dip in response will have been catastrophic from their perspective and that whole thing seems really sus to me. |

Indeed, does he wish to engage or have any preferred connection with the West in any case? |

The foolishness of Balad's decision to run alone, along with Labour/Meretz not doing a deal, when all the other parties in the pro-Netanyahu camp had done so, is the background to this result. 49.5% in this bloc rewarded with fewer seats. Whilst I hate many of these deals, in the polarised elections of these times, more adults were needed on the centre-left.

Labour moved significantly to the left under Michaeli, so Meretz is not that unique anymore. 2.The Meretz crowd is extremely anti-religious so I doubt it hurt them. |

Well😳. They do both hate judges who do their jobs and try and hold the corrupt to account, so makes sense.

that's true. The only way it can function as a friendship is through Netanyahu's complete indifference to diaspora Jews. He appears not to give a shit about the antisemitic policies and utterances of his pal within Hungary. An old family friend who has just turned 90 is a survivor both of the Holocaust & the Hungarian Uprising. Hungarian is her first language but she doesn't even want to be identified as a Hungarian any more.
