Understanding Israel's Political Parties: From Bibi to Abbas
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 07. 2024
- On June 13th, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid managed to form a government, but how did we get here? Politics are complicated, especially Israeli politics.
Why do Israelis keep having elections? What parties make up the Knesset - Israel’s parliament? A party needs at least 61 seats to form a government, but no single party has ever come close to winning that many seats, which means that parties have had to team up with one another to form a “Coalition Government.” Currently, getting those 61 seats has proved more of a challenge than ever, causing Israelis to go to the polls four times in three years. Will the Lapid-Bennett government last?
This video will help you make heads and tails of what you read in the news - the issues at hand, the various politicians, what “right” and “left” even means anymore, and how one man - Benjamin Netanyahu - managed to eclipse even the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

This is probably the best possible way to explain the political situation over here in 10 minutes. A very well constructed explenation, I'm pleasantly surprised.
As an Israeli patriot who voted across the board during the years, I'm very impressed by how accurate this video is.
The Israeli media is often very biased, direction depending on the channel's agenda, and the world media is usually either biased or, more commonly, plain clueless.
This is so refreshing to see!
Very well explained, Confusing at times ,so many parties just like India
Totally different electoral system. In India, they us first-past -the-post, thus a party could win the majority of parliament with 30% of the votes. In Israel, that’s impossible, as they use proportional electoral system.
@@Steven-fv8xw yes, that's how bjp came to power with absolute majority.
Please do remember that we are barely 8 million people living in Israel though.

@@goatgaming3612 .my regional language marathi has 83 million people in india and 62k people in israel lol.
Best analysis I've heard for a while
Do you think Lapid will manage to form a government, will Netanyahu get another chance, or are we heading towards a fifth round of elections?
I assume that after the fall of Bennett (who joined Bibi), Gideon Sa'ar will join Bibi and together they will form a coalition
Whether it'll be now or after the next elections,
Yair Lapid will be the prime minister
On June 2, Lapid will call President Rivlin and tells him that he gave up on forming a government, which will make the mandate to form a govt go to the Knesset, triggering a 21 day period where any MK can get the mandate and form a govt if he/she can earn at least 61 MKs signatures. This is unlikely to ever happen, and when the 21 day period ends Israel will go to her fifth election in two years.
Bibi needs to go yesterday.
@@l.tc.5032 No , If Bibi goes , Israel will fall to it's enemies , That should never happen , and for ur info : I voted Likud ;) Bibi forever
I kinda love how everyone gets representation but it also creates a lot of deadlock because it's so hard to form a governing coalition.

It‘s only so bad because the Arab parties have refused to enter government and therefore coalition options were really bad, especially for the left.

Damn that is surprisingly accurate. Well done!
The United States should adopt a political system like this, I’m sick of the bipartisan political system in America
That doesn't make sense, sorry.
Worst system ever, everyone puting their ego before the country, we should go back to direct election.
Be careful what you wish for. Having that many political parties means small niche parties get to extort the big ones in exchange for joining the coalition
It's a good system. Only problem is that it would enable the far right to gain a platform
@@millevenon5853 far left too
This was entertaining and very informative. Israeli politics are a perennial mystery to outsiders. I am always amazed there is no written constitution.
There is a quasi constitution though, so it's something (but far from what it needs to be).
Well done on the research. 100% accurate bringing just the facts without being Bias first time i see this from a foreign media outlet
Eylon, who wrote and hosted this video, isn't "foreign" :)
@@UNPACKED maybe it's good people think its foreign Haha
Israeli here. This is surprisingly accurate. I'm also a student for Political Sciences (M.A), so for me it's the perfect time for elections chaos.
It was really hard to condense this into a 10 minute video and keep it both accurate and understandable for someone who has no prior knowledge. Glad you enjoyed!
yea i couldn't have put it better in such a short video. good job
Thanks :)
As a American after 9 minutes of watching this video I'm still confused on Israeli politics guess I'm going out to watch it again .
Israeli-British here, this is the most accurate video on the political situation in Israel that I have ever watched. I wish the foreign media would learn from you.
What exceptionally helpful and informative stuff.
‘Things were much easier. When Israel had just twelve tribes’. I guess that must be true from a biblical standpoint 😂😂
Thanks from Israel for making this, I'm not used to see forgien media talk about our election system and desicion-making with this amount of precision.
אנחנו לא כלכך "זרים" כמו שאתה אולי חושב
@@UNPACKED אני בשוק
חח יש להם מלא סרטונים על ישראל יהדות וכו' כבר הנחתי את זה
חחח, אנחנו טכנית גם לא "ישראלים". הארגון אמריקאי, אבל חלקנו ישראלים. (כמוני)
Israel: The country where Game of Thrones still lives on
Indeed. But keep in mind that there is intersectionality for each "tribe". For example, those who live in the periphery tend to be Mizrahi, localist, conservative and right wing. Those who live in the center (especially Tel Aviv tend to be Ashkenazi, globalist, progressive, atheist and left wing.
You forget about kibbutzim.
Many of them are periphery as well, but mostly Ashkenazi and left-wing.
@@Jewish_Israeli_Zionist Didn't notice this comment from a year ago, sorry.
Not 100% true. Many Ashkenazi live in the periphery, like how the guy mentioned in Kibbutzim, or former USSR immigrants who were placed in the periphery like Beer Sheva, and they also tend to be right wing.
On the other hand, today you have many Mizrachi living in central areas, like Kfar Saaba and Hertzelia, more than ever before due to rising in economical status.
The line is not clear cut today as it was before.
Haha I like how all the comments are “as an Israeli, etc.."
So let me say now:
as a Palestinian! Who’s a part of this diverse mosaic.
This video was great (and accurate yeah).. but I hope all of us can live together in peace. In one state. If only we understand that this could be a country of all of us together.
WOW, I'm Israeli and I've learned few things in this video. this is so accurate thanks!
This presenter is Golden 😂
What's so funny about him?
@@UNPACKED His enunciation and intonation along with sarcasm was just perfect.
It wasn’t too distracting, but it ease the tension with humour and made a complicated discussion easy to understand
This party system is much more democratic, and much more representative than "winner takes all" in the US. This way you don't have to choose the better of 2 really bad options and can keep the elected officials accountable. Wish we had that.
Yeah well it sounds good in theory, but there are so many opinions and parties and here we are about to elect for the fifth time in 2 years (lost billions of dollars for all these elections)
A combination of ranked choice voting and term limits would do so much good for America.
It's nice to see all the Israelis who comment saying this is accurate. I can now know I can trust this lol. Politics is always so hard to navigate, especially to a foreign audience.
I may be American but I love Israel so much. As a Jew I see Israel as very important and I hope to one day make Aliyah and live in the one and only Jewish state.
I m glad to know that politically the Israelis are as messed up as we are 😂
Well until Arabs start to attack us and all parties agree for unification and creates a "national government" which means the main goal is to fight and give complete support to the army in war, Happen not once in last decades.
Here for you my friend.
In general israel is messed up. that's also a big part of what makes it successful
@@eden5260 it will succeed yes ✌ shhh..🤫 between us (American taxes) 🤗🤗🤗
Which country are you from?
It’s sort of Game Of Thrones the real life version
As an Israeli this is very accurate.
As Israeli you deserve much more views. Very accurate video
I agree. in the US, that will shut up (MAYBE) the labeling of Israel as Apartheid, racist, etc....
Very good explanation for a country with very complex politics
Israel needs a constitution instead of a basic law system so term limits and rules against people under criminal indictment being PM can prevent the current mess that is the Israeli political system. It would also help in the seperation of religion from the government.
Hard agree.
Absolutely!
Israel technically have a constitution since the constitutional revolution in 1992
Sounds complex. Didnt get it
But the point is it is almost impossible to create a constitution. They have been trying since 1948 but they never succeeded. The main reason is the same reason why there are so many parties- Israeli society is very torn into groups. I can't think how will there be a consensus on the role of religion, the National Identity( because Arab parties and some left-wing want Israel to be bi-national) and many other topics. Throughput 73 years many people tried to come up with a constitution but it is almost impossible.
Such vibrant democracy in such hostile neighborhood!!!!
It takes a massive dedication and love for one's country.

Wow! Very accurate and unbiased, good job!
Very interesting video! Thank you for sharing
You guys did a good job, but I think you should have mention that the Ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazi "United Torah" party is itself a 'joint' party or an alignment of two parties - the Hasidic "Agudat Yisrael" and the Mitnagdim ("Lithuanian") "Degel HaTorah".
What's the difference between Hasidic and Mitnagdim? - Maybe a subject for another video...?
Yeah, totally a topic for another video. Getting into "Agudas" vs "Degel" would have made it way too confusing, the same reason we really didn't get into the different parties in the Joint List, or Tziyonut Datit. Too much "inside baseball" for a 10 minute overview.
Very informative!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great job!

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.

It is more accurate to say Sephardic than Mizrahi.
@user-uu3ti6vx8l You might enjoy our recent video:
Is there a difference between Sephardic & Mizrachi Jews? czcams.com/video/d5kqQB69SDY/video.html
It's actually less accurate (or arguably equally inaccurate)! While Mizrahi Jews follow Sephardic customs for the most part, Sephardic Jews are specifically ones who left the Iberian peninsula, Mizrahi Jews are ones who lived throughout the Middle East and North Africa regardless of if they ever spent time in Iberia.

I think the problem here is you have not acknowledged Left and Right on economic and social or cultural issues. You can be Left Wing on social or cultural issues but Right Wing on economic issues, vice versa.
We mention it briefly towards the end there, it's just that even that doesn't always match (for example Shas that is very "left wing" on economic issues, "right wing" on social issues, but then kinda falls somewhere in the middle in terms of "the conflict" - but is still lumped into "the right" by most media outlets).
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong
People think the politics in Israel is flawed, because however the amount of votes per party determine the seats of the represented party. So the parties with the most votes, can make deals with the other party’s to help them win, and since you can mix and match official roles, the winning elected can then appoint the losing parties to roles, or help influence there vote, in exchange for them throwing in the towel and helping the majority party?
Kind of.
But a party has to get at least 4 seats in order to enter the parliament. Otherwise it will "eliminated" and it's voted will be distributed evenly between all the other parties.
Therefore our parliament isn't entirely accurate as a representation of "what Israelis thing", since in general "right-wing" voters tend to vote mostly to major parties who will surely pass this block of "4 seats", while many of Israeli "left-wing" voters vote for small parties, which fail to get those "4 seats", therefore the voices of these voters are "lost". In a sense.
This is like Game of Thrones
