The Significance of the Israeli Elections for the Peace Process
Harold Paisner and Professor David Newman
Just one week after the Israeli elections, on 18 February 2009, Professor David Newman of the Department of Politics and Government, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, addressed a JPR seminar on the significance of the Israeli elections for the Arab-Israeli peace process.
Professor Newman spoke as formal consultations and negotiations to form the new government were getting underway. He described the two most likely options as equally unstable and undesirable: Benjamin Netanyahu would most probably be asked to put together a narrow, right-wing government, in which any party with the minimum three or more seats would wield disproportionate power; alternatively, Netanyahu and Tzipi Livni would ‘get their act together’ and put together a wide coalition, in which Netanyahu would probably be the Prime Minister. He predicted, however, that this would be a government of paralysis.
