#372: Beyond the Polls - Mapping the Israeli Electorate
This is a recording of a New Jewish Narrative webinar from August 26, 2026, the first part in our Israeli Election Webinar Series.
Most of the coverage between now and October 27 and then will center on the politicians, public opinion surveys, and the speculative math behind any future coalition. But this Israeli election may very well be decided by a small number of Israeli voters who are undecided.
Haaretz's Judy Maltz has a special series reporting on the different communities within the Israeli electorate that may matter most. So far, in her "Countdown to Election Day" series, Maltz has already reported from: a Bedouin city that could play kingmaker, West Bank settlements where support for the far right is softening, Haifa's Russian-speaking community and its Palestinian citizens, a Chabad town, and a Gaza-border community that was devastated on October 7 and is now weighing where to put its vote.
Join us for an hour with Judy Maltz to map out who these communities are, what she heard from them, and what it tells us about the 2026 Israeli elections.
Judy Maltz is the Jewish World correspondent for Haaretz, where she has covered Israeli society, immigration, religion, and diaspora affairs for more than a decade. Her current series, "Countdown to Election Day," reports from the Israeli communities whose votes are most likely to determine the outcome on October 27.
