Israel votes on October 27th, and Noam couldn’t think of a better way to count down than by ranking Israel’s eight biggest political earthquakes. He covers the most dramatic moments; Menachem Begin’s earth-shaking 1977 upset, Netanyahu’s razor-thin 1996 debut and the four-elections-in-two-years chaos of 2019 to 2021.
