For the fifth time since 2019, Israelis are voting in national elections, hoping to break the political deadlock that has paralysed the country for the past three and a half years. For the first time in 13 years, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not running as the incumbent. Bibi, as he is known in Israel, is hoping to return to power as the head of a far-right coalition, while centrist caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid is hoping the mantle of the acting premiership will help keep him in place. “It is choice between rule of law and un-rule of law” says Louis Fishman, associate professor at Brooklyn College, who in addition to his work on Ottoman Palestine, focuses on Turkish, Palestinian, and Israeli affairs. It is a frank, eye-opening conversation with plenty of Turkey-Israel comparisons, as Turkey is preparing for a similar critical election next year. We’ve also talked about the rise of fascism in Israel and beyond.
