Jack Engelhard criticizes Israel’s electoral system
In an opinion piece published on November 11, 2026, in Arutz Sheva, Jack Engelhard addressed recent protests in Philadelphia before pivoting to a critique of Israel's electoral system. Questioning why the leader of the party that wins the most votes is not automatically declared prime minister, he criticized the requirement to secure 61 Knesset seats as nearly impossible. Engelhard described the process as outdated, comparing it to the UK's political system, which he characterized as unstable. He concluded by noting that the Israeli prime minister faces significant challenges in relations with the United States.
