The Arab leadership is promoting dialogue with the Right. It turns out that if Arab countries can seek peace with Israel regardless of the Palestinian cause, then so can Arab Israelis.
Recent polls are showing a surprising increase in support for the prime minister among Arab voters. It is time to change the false paradigm by which the Arab electorate instinctively gravitates to the Left.
The upcoming elections pose a real opportunity to advance Arab society, and the question is which political party will become the new and true home for the Arab public.
If there is one thing the Left can't handle is support among Arab voters for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
This time, the Left has no clear candidate for prime minister, and more new parties than ever, which will have to form joint lists or risk wasting hundreds of thousands of votes.
Israel doesn’t need another center-left party. It needs a stable democracy, which means the Left has to find its way back to presenting an alternative to the Right.
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi are the latest in the long line of former IDF chiefs who charged into the political battlefield only to be defeated.
An alliance of Labor, former Yesh Atid MK Ofer Shelach, Blue and White, Meretz, Yesh Atid, and the Israelis party would ensure they all make it past the electoral threshold, but it also guarantees internal fighting as each of the parties tries to make it to the finish line as the largest party in the bloc.
The premise that has been so deeply ingrained in Israeli consciousness, according to which Netanyahu is the only one who can lead the Right no longer stands the test of reality or the test of simple math.
In an election, the public is supposed to vote for its preferred government policies, but it doesn't look like any discussion of any serious issues will take place. Iran? The economy? The Palestinians? It's doubtful any of the politicians vying for our vote have given much thought to anything beyond how best to maintain or gain power.
