Speaker: Tamar Hermann, academic director, The Viterbi Family Center, The Israel Democracy Institute, Israel

What do public opinion surveys reveal to us about political preferences in Israel? Has the Gaza War led to shifts in those preferences, and if so, how? And who is likely to win the next national elections in Israel? In this webinar, one of Israel’s most prominent public opinion experts, Tamar Hermann, presents and analyzes the latest data.
