Israel Elections

with Amanda Borschel-Dan, Deputy Editor of the Times of Israel & Charles Bybelezer, JNS executive editor in Israel

Three years after the deadly October 7 attacks, the Israeli electorate is about to go to the polls for the first time in four years. The future direction for the State of Israel will be decided on October 27 as the Knesset Members will be determined at the ballot box. Many of us outside of Israel don’t know the various political parties vying for power and the politicians who are representing them. Join us on October 22 at 12 pm ET for an in-depth conversation with Amanda Borschel-Dan, founding member and deputy editor of The Times of Israel and Charles Bybelezer, JNS executive editor in Israel. Amanda and Charles will be leading a discussion about the key dynamics shaping the upcoming Israel elections. Don't miss out on this timely and insightful discussion - register today!
