    Read excerpt

    On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the election polls told us that Israel’s rival political camps were running neck and neck. A tie? I asked myself. How can there be a tie after everything that has happened here in recent years?A tie after cemeteries filled with the graves of civilians and soldiers killed while Benjamin Netanyahu’s government was in power? A tie after we were exposed to the detailed warnings the prime minister received about what Yahya Sinwar was preparing to do, as described by Shlom

    Tomorrow afternoon, the first representatives of Israel’s political parties will arrive at the Central Elections Committee to submit their candidate lists for the 26th Knesset. Until the filing period closes Tuesday at 10 p.m., we will hear about mergers, last-minute recruits and those pushed off the slates, who will soon be watching events in the Knesset on television instead of taking part in them.But amid all the maneuvering over names and positions, the most interesting story is Benjamin Net
