The election results point to a meaningful shift in Israeli politics, though not the decisive result many of us hoped for.
Netanyahu and his far-right allies lost substantial support, and the pendulum did swing toward moderation and sanity, even if not decisively to the left. The parties in the coalition Netanyahu leads will lose 14 or 15 seats – more than 20 percent. While the exact final totals remain uncertain, this next Knesset will look markedly different.
