While in the United States reactionary politics has at last suffered a heavy setback, one that augurs major realignments to come, in Israel nothing has yet been settled. For now, what Israeli democracy has expressed through the latest elections remains undecided. What is certain is that Benjamin Netanyahu has lost his majority: his outgoing coalition…
