PoliticsIsraeli electorate has shifted right, with social fractures underestimated

She points to polarization, the Jewish electorate’s rightward shift and disputed legitimacy of Arab political participation as constraints on coalition-building. Netanyahu’s bloc has lost ground but, she argues, still has options including another election, a unity government or drawing in opposition partners.
