Abstract

Russian Abstract: В этой записке мы возвращаемся к сюжету годичной давности с тем, чтобы проверить как позиции партий обозначенные в предвыборных материалах или в действиях предыдущего правительства развиваются или изменяются в действиях нового кабинета сформированного по итогам выборов 2015 года. По некоторым разделам предвыборной записки заметных событий не произошло. По другим год оказался насыщенным. Основные инциденты отраженные в данном обзоре – события в связи с волной террора, расследования поджега в Кфар Дума, газовая сделка, законодательство о правах собственников жилья и др.

English Abstract: The paper explores the leading Israeli parties' positions (the right-wing mainly) on the key issues. The set of "key issues" is our choice and contains Judicial (legal system) reform, Judea and Samaria status, 2nd amendment right and self-defense, other security issues, economic policies. The paper is focused primarily on the most important issues like Kfar Duma arson case (investigation was accompanied by grave violation of suspected persons' rights), terror wave, Gas deal, new legislation weakening real estate owner's rights for the developers' benefit and more.

The principal issue of the paper is the parties' commitments to their pre-election promises and informal mandates.
