Israel Elections & Politics

Latest in Israel Elections & Politics· Nov 10

Maj. Gen. Moshe Eisenkot has been tasked with forming Israel's next government as the newly elected parliament is sworn in, a challenge to Benjamin Netanyahu's political dominance. The coalition talks inject uncertainty into regional risk positioning; investors typically demand safe-haven premiums when government formation drags on or produces unstable coalitions. Haaretz is doubling its US bureau staff as Israel's political center shifts rightward, betting that American readers will sustain independent coverage critical of the government's direction. The newspaper's expansion reflects deepening polarization within Israeli politics rather than a discrete market event.
