This paper examines the political climate in Israel following the country's March 2015 elections and contends that there is no real ideological split between the right and the left in the country. Indeed, the author contends that the main split between the parties is whether they are willing to sit in any coalition government with either Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud or the Labour party, or both. He then suggest that this means that it is unlikely that the parties will be able to build alternative coalitions to those led by Likud in the near future.
