A Knesset member has highlighted how deep-seated political divisions rooted in exclusionary policies are preventing Israel from breaking its prolonged period of governance paralysis. The argument centers on how a culture of marginalizing opposing views or groups has entrenched ideological standoffs, making compromise nearly impossible.

The discussion raises broader questions about whether Israel’s political system can adapt to foster collaboration instead of further polarization.


Knesset member Ofer Cassif argues that the ‘politics of exclusion’ keep Israel in political deadlock.
