- Yossi Alpher discusses the present absence of Palestine in the Knesset elections.
- Steve Clemons exclaims, with a grain of salt, “Give us Bibi, Please.”
- Jonathan Cook points to Israel’s rightward shift, as many Palestinians plan to spend the day at home.
- Arik Ben-Zvi at TNR notes that Israel’s radical right is back with a vengence.
- Negotiator extraordinaire Aaron David Miller isn’t sure Israeli elections matter.
