Opis

The 1996 Israel elections were the first elections by direct vote for the position of Prime Minister in which a newcomer - Binjamin Netanyahu - defeated the veteran Israeli politician, Shimon Peres. The result indicated not only a transition of power for the left-centre to the right-centre, but also the decline of the major parties and the ascendance of the smaller parties. This work looks at the parties, election campaigns and the processes that determined the outcome.
