以色列大选与2015年的政治局势

Abstract:In 2015，the central event in Israeli politics was the election of Israel’s 20th Knesset and 34th government. Revolving around the election，the major Israeli parties conducted fierce political campaigning. Following the election，Likud became the leading party in the Knesset（parliament）and was authorized to build the new government，not a simple task to say the least. The new coalition government occupies a one-seat majority in the Knesset. After taking office，the coalition’s domestic and foreign policies underwent no significant shift. Nevertheless，with the joining of religious parties，the democratic reform made by the former government was greatly mitigated. As far as governing quality was concerned，the new administration’s razor-thin majority deeply influenced its governing efficiency. Taking Israeli election in 2015 as the entry point，this report analyzes the major parties’ stances and strategies before the election，reveals the feature termed “Israel’s identity politics” while touching on Netanyahu’s difficult course in forming the cabinet. Moreover，this report analyzes the administrative policies of the new government and the challenges it will face as it attempts to form a representative and efficient coalition.
