Daily Briefing Nov. 10 – Is Israel ripe for a January 6-style Knesset riot?
Today, as the 26th Knesset is sworn in, right-wing Israelis have called for a mass protest. Analyst Ben Sales hears echoes from the lead-up to the 2021 Capitol Hill riot and explains why
The 5050 Initiative has announced a record number of 33 female MKs will be sworn in to Israel's 26th Knesset on Tuesday. The initiative, which operates under the Centers for Social Justice, cited data from the Choosing Wisely project to make the announcement. The announcement follows a letter from Yael Yechieli, CEO of the 5050 Initiative, to party leaders and President Isaac Herzog demanding equal participation in meetings and the allocation of ministerial portfolios.
Of the 33 female MKs, 18 are serving in the Knesset for their first time, while 13 are continuing their service from the 25th Knesset. The initiative aims to reach a 50% female representation goal in every Israeli political party.
