Israel’s election yielded a stalemate. Which means Netanyahu has won

The anti-Netanyahu parties won a Knesset majority, but they do not have the means to translate that into even a minority government. The failure is staggering, and may echo long into Israel's future

Netanyahu, desperate, now tells us we’ll die if we don’t re-elect him

The PM is disseminating Iranian-style propaganda showing Tel Aviv under a mushroom cloud, and reportedly pressing his IDF chief to act 'relating to Iran' and potentially trigger a 'miscalculation'

For Israel’s sake, Netanyahu has to go

He failed us on October 7, and every day since by refusing to answer for it. He clung to power, and now promises the same shameful coalition, with the same divisive and dangerous policies

timesofisrael.com/unless-the-opp…

Unless the opposition raises its game, Netanyahu, the PM of Oct. 7, could yet survive this election

It's a combination of his own shameless efforts to rewrite history, his opponents' inability to adequately hold him to account for that blackest of days and much more besides, and, perhaps, Israel's changing demographics

As with Oct. 7, so too with Sept. 30’s flydubai attack: A failure to prevent obvious deadly threats, and a refusal to take responsibility

The gaping holes in security for passengers on foreign airlines serving Israel truly boggle the mind. Until they are clearly addressed, travelers should be very careful in their choices. And so, too, should Israeli voters

Bereaved by war, determined to heal, protect and revive Israel: Gadi Eisenkot’s prime ministerial mission

In an impassioned interview with The Times of Israel, the opposition frontrunner explains why he stayed in politics after his son was killed in Gaza, how he would safeguard Israel and return it to the community of nations, and why Netanyahu, the PM of Oct. 7, must be sent home

timesofisrael.com/nazas-claims-a…

NAZA’s claims about IDF conduct in Gaza are grave. So are the film’s journalistic flaws

The documentary draws on 24 alleged whistleblowers, but the explosive allegations, assembled to serve a narrative that Israel paid no heed to civilian deaths, suffer from questionable sourcing and deficient investigative rigor

timesofisrael.com/eisenkot-does-…

Eisenkot does not have this election sewn up. So why is he barely campaigning?

More than half the electorate wants Netanyahu gone. Yet the foremost candidate to replace him is ceding the spotlight and the agenda

timesofisrael.com/the-writing-is…

The writing is on the wall, again

The election campaign is turning toxic. The prime minister, who insists he played no role in the incitement that created the poisonous climate prior to the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, needs to urgently internalize the lessons of 1995

timesofisrael.com/this-new-year-…

This New Year, let’s start to restore the Israel that is a light unto the nations

We shouldn't need Ed Miliband -- way off with some parts of his critique but spot on with others -- to remind us that indulging deadly settler violence against Palestinian civilians is shameful

timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-who-…

Netanyahu, who set policy and held the levers of power, now seeks to pin all blame for October 7 on others

Desperate for reelection, the PM claims he was a political victim on Oct. 7, while his wife spreads a foul conspiracy theory; but there's no escaping that the invasion took place on his watch, by a terrorist government whose rule in Gaza he insistently funded

timesofisrael.com/our-ai-generat…

Our AI-generated defense minister emblemizes an Israeli leadership that refuses to face reality

Whatever Israel Katz may want to believe, Iran's leaders are not cowering, and Israel will not defeat its enemies by endlessly blowing things up; Netanyahu should know better, but he's in full-blown denial mode

timesofisrael.com/why-these-elec…

Why these elections are the last chance to save Israel from its ‘spiral of collapse’

Israel's entire education system is in crisis. And its fastest-growing community, the ultra-Orthodox, is getting by far the worst education of all. An inadequate education spells a non-competitive workforce, a weakened army, and a country that simply won't survive

Batya Ezri, the ‘time traveler’ of Jerusalem

In this week's Peoples of Israel, a new series featuring the mosaic of personalities walking the Land, we meet the owner of a vintage store where people don't come only to shop, but to remember

timesofisrael.com/losing-ground-…

Losing ground to nemesis Eisenkot, a desperate Netanyahu plumbs new depths

Netanyahu wants to contest the election on the ostensible unsuitability of anyone but him to lead Israel, but his main rival is increasingly seen as a better alternative - serious about the national interest, neither slick nor cynical, and untainted by the worst leadership failure in the country's history

timesofisrael.com/israel-steppin…

Israel steps up campaign to kill all 5,000 Oct. 7 terrorists; 1,200 were killed on the day, 1,500 so far since

Times of Israel analysis shows sharp increase, despite Gaza truce, in strikes targeting those who participated in the massacre or held and abused hostages; 300 more have been captured

timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-hits…

Netanyahu hits new lows in his battle for survival; there will be a great deal of damage for better leaders to undo

PM repairs his partnership with the blackmailing ultra-Orthodox political leadership at the terrible price of destroying equality under the law and, despite the echoes of 2023, weakening Israel's capacity to defend itself against its enemies

timesofisrael.com/a-plea-to-the-…

A plea to the prime minister: Heed the lessons of our history in this land, and pull back from the brink

You may consider this appeal itself divisive and unjustified, but do internalize that many fine, patriotic and responsible Israelis feel this way

The world is turning dangerous for Jews again. Israel has to get its house in order

This is not Nazi Germany in the 1930s. But it is a global crisis for Jews — and it demands an Israel strong enough, and united enough, to provide a refuge that is secure, welcoming and true to its founding values
