Two Heads Better Than One?
In America, all politics is local — but in Israel, Election Day is almost always about the peace process. The result is a political system that tends to neglect many domestic issues and marginalizes many leaders who might have a clue about how to address issues such as transportation, poverty, education, etc. But now economist Avishay Braverman and former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon are talking about presenting themselves as a two-headed ticket for Labor Party leadership that would divide up domestic and foreign policies.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
