etc., and have placed themselves politically to the right of the Likud. And what happened in the left? – It is becoming “Centre”. The term “Centre-Left” is being used in every election covered since 2013. It was used to describe Yesh Atid in the 2013, then again in 2015 describing Yesh Atid, but also the Labor party and Kulanu. And now it describes about five parties. And I really wonder what does centre mean? If we look at the new combined list running for the Knesset (and latest polls anticipating they’ll get the majority of votes) - “Kachol Lavan”, a joint list combining “Chosen L’Israel”, Gantz’s party, Telem, Ashkenazi’s party and “Yesh Atid” led by Lapid, It is very clear that this is a left party that doesn’t want to be affiliated with the classic left party in Israel (Avoda). This is not due to an ideological gap, but more for PR reasons. If you look at the policies espoused by Gantz when he was the Joint Chief of Staff, and the policies of Yesh Atid when they spearheaded the Health, Education and Treasury ministries, it's very clear where they stand and it’s very much to the left. The definition of “centre” is purely hoping that right and left voters will be convinced to vote for them. And the latest polls suggest this stunt is actually working. On the one hand we have the right parties who it seems are steering further to the right, and competing about who’ll make Israel more Jewish and more religious, and on the other hand we have the left parties that are masking themselves as “centre”, hoping to attract more and more voters under the slogan “no more right, no more left”. But I think they got it right (pun intended) on one thing- the elections are no longer about right or left- at least not in the ideological sense. Like many other countries, Israel’s political campaign is about the “people” running for office - the leaders of parties have become the political equivalent of celebrities. It’s no longer about what they say and whether they mean it or notit's about the fact that they said something. And more importantlytweeted it, posted it and tagged whoever they wanted to react to that. So, on the 9th April 2019, Israel won’t be voting “left or right”, it will be voting for the most popular leader or leaders. MASORTI MINYAN TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS 6:45AM 12
