The piece argues that the October 7 attack shattered Israel's prewar political and social order, yet Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Haredi parties remain anchored to the old coalition. The central tension is whether the wartime reality will finally break the longstanding alliance between the secular right and ultra-Orthodox factions. The outcome will determine whether Israel's governing coalition can adapt to the new security and societal demands.
