The new Israeli elections that will be held on January 28, 2003
highlight the deep political crisis that has paralysed the Israeli
political system. The elections come at a time of deepening economy
crisis. At the same time no solution is in sight to the ongoing
conflict in the Palestinian territories. A.Kramer in Israel explains
that Israeli workers can expect nothing from the main contenders in
these elections and stresses the need for a working class based
socialist alternative.
An update on the build up to the forthcoming elections in Israel. The
Likud party has been hit by corruption scandals. The Labour Party in
the past has also been affected by such scandals. This highlights the
corrupt nature of the whole regime.
