Upcoming elections in Israel and the United States are pivotal for democracy. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a challenge from former defense minister Moshe Ya'alon, who warns that Netanyahu's coalition with Jewish supremacists threatens the country's democratic institutions. Ya'alon draws parallels to Nazi Germany, citing the government's efforts to undermine the judiciary and annex Palestinian territories.
In the U.S., President Trump's alignment with Netanyahu raises concerns about democratic norms. Both elections will determine the future of democratic governance in these nations.
