On election eve, Fathom offers six more pieces of analysis to help you understand the issues and the players. Anshel Pfeffer assesses the pivotal figure of Avigdor Lieberman, who could yet be kingmaker when polls close tomorrow. Yossi Kuperwasser explains what the priorities for the next government should be. Yohanan Plesner sets out his fear that the a post-election drive to grant the Knesset the power to ‘override’ Supreme Court judicial oversight will amount to the removal of the one meaningful check on political power. Afif Abu Much argues that the Center-left is making a mistake by not reaching out to 300,000 Arab voters. Eihab Kadah explains what has changed for Arab voters from April to September. And Revital Amiran writes a sharp rejoinder to Yisrael Medad’s critique of her Fathom article ‘The Zionist Left is Renewing itself’.
