Summary/Abstract: The elections to the Israeli Knesset, scheduled for 17 March, are taking place in a specific international context of a destabilised neighbourhood, renewed tensions with Palestine, ongoing talks on the Iranian nuclear programme, and a new dispute with Israel’s most important ally, the United States. Foreign policy has therefore become an important subject in the electoral campaign. The shape of the future coalition and its immediate decisions will weigh on Israel’s standing on the international arena.
