TalkOnPointWhat Could Change if Netanyahu Loses?
What is at stake for Israelis? Rory Stewart says the election raises questions about Israel’s institutions after Netanyahu, military service for ultra-Orthodox Jews, relations with Arab parties, and “what Israel is” and who belongs in Israeli society. Israelis are considering these issues while feeling that their state faces existential risk. [Evidence at 29.48 seconds.] What might change for Palestinians?
Direct answer
Rory Stewart argues that Israelis see the election as a test of Israel’s institutions, social membership, relations with Arab parties and military service, while they feel the state faces existential risk. But he cautions that a Netanyahu loss may change very little for Palestinians or the world’s view of Israel. Alastair Campbell says the opposition offers no traditional left-right alternative and none of its parties discusses a two-state solution, leaving unclear what else would change. They say October 7th and Netanyahu define the contest, with security and Palestinian statehood concerns shaping the opposition’s position.
