Israel's next election is often framed as a referendum on the country's longest-serving Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Liran Harsgor and Alon Yakter argue that public opinion reveals two different political maps: a clear divide over democracy and institutions, but a far less coherent alternative on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where voters and candidates struggle to articulate a credible political horizon
Senior Lecturer, School of Political Science, University of Haifa
Liran studies how citizens in democracies form political attitudes and voting preferences, focusing on the roles of institutions, group affiliation, and events, with particular attention to Israeli politics from a comparative perspective.
Her recent work examines how formative experiences shape political behaviour, the generational gaps they produce, and the political behaviour of young cohorts.
Her work has been published in the American Journal of Political Science, the British Journal of Political Science, Public Opinion Quarterly, the European Journal of Political Research, and the Journal of Conflict Resolution, among other outlets.
