The following J School webinar is from August 5, 2020.
Lesson Overview
With its complex, multi-party political system, Israeli politics can be fast-paced to follow as leaders from divergent political ideologies, religious affiliations, and ethnic identities jostle for power and influence. The complexity of Israel’s electoral system is a major factor in the country’s approach to the conflict and the concessions it will and won’t make for peace. This session will examine some of these challenges and broaden our understanding of the impact of Israeli politics on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
