It examines significant contemporary issues such as the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon; the harnessing of the enormous inflation rate; the escalating tension between religious and secular Israeli Jews; the widening influence of radical right wing activist Rabbi Meir Kahane; the fluctuating relationship between Israel and the U.S.; the survival of the Likud Party; and changes in national electoral strategies of the major parties. It places recent events in Israeli politics in a historical context and suggests what the implications of these events might be for the future.SUNY series in Israeli studies.Political partiesIsraelCongressesIsraelPolitics and government1967-1993CongressesIsraelForeign relationsCongressesPolitical parties956.9405/4Mahler Gregory S.1950-473410MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954580603321Israel after Begin4479612UNINA
