For many Israeli voters, concerns over Israel's public image take a back seat in election
Despite rising global hostility, the issue of Israel’s diplomacy, its image worldwide, and who is to blame for its deterioration is barely factoring into the fast-approaching election on Oct. 27
Assessment
Israeli voters are heading to an election where foreign opinion barely registers. The campaign is focused on domestic concerns, even as global hostility toward Israel grows. That gap between international perception and voter priorities could produce a government with little mandate for diplomatic repair. Watch whether any candidate tries to shift the conversation before Oct. 27, or if the silence on image holds.
