Obama Peres children

An Israeli woman rides her bicycle past election campaign posters

A compendium of Israeli election night adjectives, narratives, superlatives, and expletives

A handy lexicon from triumph to tragedy to keep you prepared for any scenario: a right-wing win, electoral gridlock or a left-wing upset that will shock the world.

Obama

On his day of inauguration and triumph, Obama presents a 'progressive manifesto'

Netanyahu Obama - AP - May 28, 2012

It's not Obama who's meddling in Israel's elections: it’s reality

The stark warnings issued by the U.S. president and his Israeli counterpart, Shimon Peres, challenge Netanyahu’s effort to convince Israelis that they can have their cake and eat it too.

By Chemi Shalev | Jan 15, 2013 | 11:01 PM | 12

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Bibi’s dilemma: Why tactics and timidity may scuttle a center-right government

Hagel - Reuters

Israel’s precious political capital is being squandered in hysterical Hagel war

Hagel - AP

Hagel: Israel's Jewish identity is non-negotiable issue in any Mideast deal

By Chemi Shalev | Jan 7, 2013 | 12:40 PM | 17

Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln.

Gone are the days when America was a role model for dysfunctional Israeli politics

The political gridlock in Washington is set to continue in the new Congress, much to the dismay of America’s admirers throughout the world.

Kerry and Netanyahu

John Kerry: A staunch supporter of Israel but a harsh critic of its policies

Kerry’s appointment as Secretary of State is unlikely to encounter meaningful opposition among pro-Israeli Jewish groups, who are saving their ammunition for Hagel's nomination for Secretary of Defense.

Obama and Chuck Hagel - Reuters - 2009

The case against Chuck Hagel: legitimate concerns, character assassination and selective outrage
