What will Israelis really be voting on in the first election since October 7?
Today we are launching Israel Votes, a new Call me Back and Ark Media series that will be your hub for unpacking the Israeli election. Ark Media contributors Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal join Dan to set the stage, exploring how October 7, the war, coalition politics, deep social divides, and the Netanyahu brand will all play a role in the upcoming vote, which many Israelis feel may determine the character and future of the Jewish state.
In this episode:
- Why this election feels different from every Israeli election before it
- How October 7 changed the political map and voter psychology
- Netanyahu’s coalition problem and the ultra-Orthodox question
- The opposition’s strategy and the Bennett factor
- Is this election a referendum on the past or a vote about the future?
- What Israel’s demographic and political trends mean for the outcome
