    Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As of, January 27, 2015) Elections In Israel, elections for the Knesset are held at least every four years. As is frequently the case, the outgoing government coalition collapsed due to disagreements between the parties. As a result, the Knesset fell significantly short of seeing out its full four year term. Knesset elections in Israel will now be held on March 17, 2015, slightly over two years since the last time that this occurred. The Basics of the Israeli Electoral System All Israeli citizens above the age of 18 and currently in the country are eligible to vote. Voters simply select one political party. Votes are tallied and each party is then basically awarded the same percentage of Knesset seats as the percentage of votes that it received. So a party that wins 10% of total votes, receives 10% of the seats in the Knesset (In other words, they would win 12, out of a total of 120 seats). To discourage small parties, the law was recently amended and now the votes of any party that does not win at least 3.25% of the total (probably around 130,000 votes) are completely discarded and that party will not receive any seats. (Until recently, the “electoral threshold,” as it is known, was only 2%). For the upcoming elections, by January 29, each party must submit a numbered list of its candidates, which cannot later be altered. So a party that receives 10 seats will send to the Knesset the top 10 people listed on its pre-submitted list.

  • September 20
    Israeli Elections Bulletin | September 20 On 17 September Israelis voted for the second time in five months. Our final bulletin analyses the results and asks what happens next. Final Election Results Netanyahu fails to win 61 seat majority With nearly 100 per cent of the votes counted in the Israeli general election, Benny Gantz’s Blue and White party beat Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud by two seats (33-31), Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beitenu party won 8 seats, compared to 5 in April, retaining its position as the kingmaker of any future coalition. Overall the centre-left/Arab bloc of parties outperformed the right-wing/ultra- Orthodox bloc by two seats - 57 to 55 with Lieberman’s party currently on the fence. 69.4 per cent of eligible voters turned out to vote, an increase of 1.5 per cent compared to April’s election. The key results of the election were the surge in support for Lieberman which was likely fuelled by moderate right-wing voters, perhaps previous Kulanu voters, who decided not to support Likud. The increased support for Arab parties was also crucial and voter turnout in Arab communities was much higher, at 60 per cent compared to 49 per cent in April. It’s possible the higher voter turnout was a reaction to Netanyahu’s proposal to put cameras in polling stations in Arab communities and his repeated allegations of Arab voter fraud. Netanyahu’s call yesterday for immediate national unity talks with Gantz were rebuffed by the Blue and White leader, who declared victory and said his party would “not be dictated to.” Gantz re-stated his intention to form a broad and liberal unity government.

  • Election Wrap-Up: Was the 2019 Campaign Meretz's Last?
    Election Wrap-up: Was the 2019 Campaign Meretz’s Last? Return to Israel Horizons main page At first glance, Israel’s April 9, 2019 Knesset elections seemed to produce little change from the standpoint of Meretz, the party apparently ending the 2019 campaign with four seats (barely missing a fifth). True, that’s a drop of one compared to the five it had in the outgoing Knesset, but its losses were trivial compared to the Labor Party’s catastrophic 18-seat freefall, which came amid the mass migration of center-left voters to former Chief of Staff Benny Gantz’s new Blue and White party (Israel’s latest centrist flavor of the month). What’s more, just like last time, Meretz is headed for the opposition benches, where it will do all it can to minimize the ravages of what is shaping up to be another right-wing/religious/Haredi government led by Binyamin Netanyahu. And the faces won’t be new, either: Meretz’s four incoming Knesset members are all incumbents – Tamar Zandberg, Ilan Gilon, Michal Rozin, and Esawi Freige – back to serve an additional term. But probe a little deeper, and one can see that the results of this election could be the harbinger of some dramatic shifts, especially with regard to the still-taboo possibility of sweeping Jewish-Arab integration in Israeli politics. Party leader Zandberg hinted at the possible new direction when she addressed Meretz activists on election night, following the publication of the exit polls: “The future of the Israeli left,” she said, “is Jewish-Arab partnership … Unless Israeli politics treats all the country’s citizens equally, there’s no future.” Days later, as the dust settled, Zandberg elaborated on the message, writing in an e-blast to supporters that a “new Israeli left … must include true Jewish-Arab partnership – social, civil, and political” [emphasis added].

What are the factors influencing the representation of women in Israeli politics? How Women in Israeli Politics has their representation changed over the years, and would the imposition of quotas be a good idea? A Comparative Perspective This policy paper examines the representation of women in Israeli politics from a comparative perspective.

  • About the Social Alliance
    About the Social Alliance The economic approach promoted by the Israeli government increased social disparities, eroded the middle class and exacerbated poverty. As of 2013, public expenditure, excluding defense expenditures and interest payments, amounts to 32.4% of Israel's GDP, while the OECD average is 44.1%. Most of the increase in poverty that was created in the last 15 years is among working families. The initiative to establish the social alliance was born out of a strong need in many parts of the population in creating an alternative to the current socio-economic policy in Israel. Despite the fact that the socio-economic discourse has increased since the social protest of summer 2011, the debate was not expanded enough for the needs of the public. Therefore, in the past few months, the Macro Center for Political Economics, in collaboration with the Israeli office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, dealt with the establishment of the Israeli social alliance. Leading organizations in various fields will take part in the social alliance, in order to improve the socio-economic future of the country's citizens. We approached organizations and individuals from different fields, each with a touch in various fields related to Israel's society and economy. There is no doubt that on the public agenda there are issues that require thorough treatment and we believe that it can be promoted with the cooperation of the various parties. The course of action is to create a melting pot which will bring change around a common platform. We invited people and organizations from across the social and economic political spectrum, to take part in the discussion on the future of Israel.

  • H. Schenker: Elections Report from Tel Aviv
    H. Schenker: Elections report from Tel Aviv The following report on elections in Meretz and Democrats Abroad-Israel is by Hillel Schenker, co-editor of the Palestine-Israel Journal and a contributing editor of Israel Horizons: It’s been a busy political week for me, and rather bi-cultural, since it was both American and Israeli politics. 1 ) The Democrats Abroad-Israel elections were held on Tuesday, and Joanne Yaron was re-elected Chair, and I was re-elected Vice Chair. There is now an 8 member executive, including a young 23 year old international relations student of Galia Golan’s at the Inter-Disciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya, who is the new treasurer/fundraiser. All positions on the executive are for a two year term, and you can only hold a specific position for two terms. There’s also a Democrats Abroad gender balance rule, which states that the chair and the vice chair have to be of different genders. Due to excitement generated by the primary and election campaigns, membership in DA – Israel more than tripled, and we hope to build on that success. For those who don’t know her, Joanne is a very energetic grandmother of two little girls, with an MA in Middle East studies from Columbia, who has been in Israel since 1962, one of the founders of the Israeli feminist movement and the driving force behind the Rape Crisis Center in Tel Aviv, who was also a member of the Ramat Gan City Council (Meretz). She deserves a lot of credit for reviving the dormant DA Abroad organization in Israel.
