Ofir Dayan will analyze the results of Israel’s 2026 elections and the political forces and societal divisions that shaped them. Drawing on her expertise in Israeli politics and public diplomacy, Dayan will discuss what the results mean for Israel’s domestic future, national security, and relationship with the United States. She will also examine what they reveal about the changing Israeli political landscape and the challenges facing the next government, as the country grapples with the aftermath of October 7, prolonged war, deep political polarization, and growing international scrutiny.
