ANALYSIS

David Horovitz, founder and editor of the Times of Israel and a leading commentator on Israeli affairs, briefed journalists on a BICOM conference call, giving his assessment of the trends in the Israeli electorate and the prospects for the next Israeli coalition.

BICOM Senior Research Fellow Prof. Alan Johnson and Director of Research Dr. Toby Greene assess the unusual role played the socio-economic agenda in the current Israeli election campaign, and look at where the parties stand on the issues.

Dr. Toby Greene, argues that scepticism among voters and the rising social agenda mean the peace process is notably absent in the campaigns of many candidates, but the future of the territories is never far below the surface.
