Understanding Israeli political parties: from Bibi to Abbas

On June 13, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid managed to form a government, but how did we get there? Politics is complicated, especially Israeli politics. Why do Israelis continue to hold elections? Which parties make up the Knesset – the Israeli parliament? A party needs at least 61 seats to form a government, but no party has ever managed to win that many seats, meaning parties have had to team up with each other to form a “government of coalition.” Currently, obtaining these 61 seats is proving more difficult than ever, forcing Israelis to go to the polls four times in three years. Will the Lapid-Bennett government last? This video will help you understand what you’re reading in the news – the issues at stake, the different politicians, what “right” and “left” mean, and how one man – Benjamin Netanyahu – managed to eclipse even the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
