Between a Mizrahi Prime Minister and the High Court: An Election Campaign Across the Country Following the Legal-Ethnic Rift | Special

Eliraz Sadeh and Shai Israel embarked on an election campaign across the country, meeting voters in Givat Olga, Rehovot, Ramla, and Be'eri. The conversation revolved around the legal-ethnic rift, Mizrahi representation in institutions, and whether Netanyahu is a code name for the struggle between two parts of the nation. Interviewees presented opposing views on trust in the High Court and the judicial reform.

A week before the 2026 elections, Eliraz Sadeh and Shai Israel set out on a journey across the country as part of the 'Voice of the People' project, meeting voters from both sides of the political divide. They visited Givat Olga, Rehovot, the Ramla market, and Kibbutz Be'eri, trying to gauge the pulse on the ground regarding the legal-ethnic rift. Eliraz Sadeh said that 'Bibi is a code name' representing two parts of the nation, and asked when there will be a Moroccan prime minister. In the Ramla market, claims arose about the lack of Mizrahi representation in institutions like the court and the flight course, alongside debates on the judicial reform. At Kibbutz Be'eri, the kibbutz secretary Gal Cohen rejected the ethnic division, while Eliraz argued that it affects Mizrahi children. The article presents opposing views without a clear journalistic resolution.
