Israeli Domestic Policy in the Context of the Israel-Hamas War
Israeli Domestic Policy in the Context of the Israel-Hamas War
Dr. Elie Friedman
Head of Communication Division
Department of Multidisciplinary Studies
Ashkelon Academic College
28 February 2024
Ellie Friedman discusses Israel's complex situation, highlighting the domestic political landscape amidst an ongoing conflict with Hamas, spurred by a catastrophic October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. The situation has forced Israel into a war, with domestic politics closely intertwined with its foreign policy and military actions, challenging Prime Minister Netanyahu's leadership and the stability of his government. An international plan, led by the Biden administration and supported by Arab states, proposes a roadmap towards peace, including a Palestinian state and the restructuring of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza, with Netanyahu facing critical decisions on a hostage release deal that could impact his coalition. These decisions are pivotal amidst domestic political pressures, public protests, and Netanyahu's personal legal challenges, with potential consequences for early elections or government instability.
Elie Friedman (PhD) serves as Head of the International Relations Office as well as Head of the Communications Division at the Department of Multidisciplinary Studies, Ashkelon Academic College. His academic rank is Senior Lecturer. He also serves as an adjunct lecturer at School of Communication, Bar-Ilan University, and a visiting lecturer at University of Maryland. His interests include political discourse in national and international contexts with an emphasis on conflict resolution, media, and public diplomacy.
