This course delves into the political dynamics of Israel before and after the pivotal events of October 7. We will explore the profound shifts within Israeli democracy—from the waning influence of the long-dominant Likud party to the rise of new right-wing movements. We will examine the identity crisis and ideological reckoning within the Israeli left. Through recent developments, we will investigate how war, security concerns, and internal divisions are reshaping Israel’s democratic foundations—and what these changes may signal for its political future and the broader global democratic landscape.
