The Road Ahead: A Post-Israeli Election Analysis ft. 2022 African American Leadership Delegation

Join us for the second installment of our two-part series on Understanding Israel’s Democratic System and November’s Election . This segment features an in-depth discussion with Professor Udi Sommer who will analyze the broader implications of Israel’s election and discuss what the results may entail for the future of the Knesset and the State of Israel. Now, in the aftermath of the election, the ousted leader of the Opposition and Chairman of the Likud Party Netanyahu is set to reclaim his previous position as Israel’s Prime Minister.

How stable will the new coalition be?
