A mandate to remake Israeli democracy: Why this Netanyahu win would be different
Long. [IsraelTimes] The only coalition he could possibly build would be the most hawkish in our history, committed to limiting the authority of Israel’s courts, bolstering the power of its politicians.If Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emerges triumphant from Tuesday’s elections, a thoroughly realistic prospect, the superficial commentary will hail his extraordinary political survival skills. The man who in three previous elections fought off a centrist alliance led by former IDF chief of staff Benny Gantz and hung on to power by his fingernails, it will be breathlessly noted, this time managed to defeat an array of anti-Bibi forces including two potent rivals from his own right-wing side of the political spectrum.
