Israel Just Voted. Get Ready to Vote Again.

Why would towns on the front lines of three years of war vote for the government that led it? Daniella and Yossi Alpher look at what Israel’s October 27 election says about the country, from the loyalty of Netanyahu’s base to what Yossi calls a right-wing, increasingly religious Israel to a record turnout of Arab citizens. Yossi explains why nobody has the votes to govern, why every deal on the table is fragile, and why his bottom line is another election within a year.
