The rightward march of Israel

Research by the Israel Democracy Institute suggests that the number of Israelis who identify as rightwing — which was as low as 39 per cent in 1986 — has risen from 54.

9 per cent on the eve of October 7 to 61. 3 per cent today. The share of those identifying as leftwing dropped from 14. 1 to 13. 5 per cent.
