What Are These Elections About?

On the last day before the election, the Panel shares its thoughts on what it will remember about the campaign. What was this election about? Is Israel a healthy democracy?

What power will the Arab parties enjoy after the election? Is it a sign of a healthy democracy that those calling for the destruction of the country can potentially have a powerful position in government?

Although the election is taking center stage, there continue to be other events in the Middle East. Will the US negotiate with Assad in Syria? Will an agreement with Iran bring about a nuclear arms race in the region?
