When Nothing Surprises Anymore: Israel Has Lost Its Boundaries | Tova Herzl

Tova Herzl argues that Israel has lost its boundaries, rules, and norms, and that the upcoming elections will determine whether the state continues to exist according to rules or disintegrates from within. She cites examples of advisors without security clearance, convicted ministers, and a lack of professionalism.

In an opinion piece, Tova Herzl argues that Israel has lost its boundaries, rules, and norms, and that the upcoming elections are not just about left and right but about the question of Israel's existence as a state governed by rules. She describes a tour of Samaria and the Jordan Valley following the exploits of Jewish rioters, noting that violence, dispossession, and the security forces' turning a blind eye no longer surprise. As examples, she cites close advisors to the prime minister who lacked security clearance and served Qatar, the leader's sons protected by an elite unit while opposition leaders beg for security, a transportation ministry director general with no professional experience, convicted ministers, and an education minister working to erase data. She warns that without boundaries and norms, Israel cannot survive.
