The problem with Israel’s electoral system
Israel’s electoral system is the root cause of the disheartening polarization and superficiality on display in Israel’s current election season. Many wrongly point to the egos of our politicians as the underlying reason. In reality, powerful constitutional disincentives for collaboration shape our politics.

S. Africa denies arrest warrant request for Livni
A request to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni was turned down by a South African investigation board. The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, also known as the Hawks, found late last week that "there are insufficient grounds for us to obtain a warrant of arrest." The Hawks also found that Livni must be in South Africa for the country to begin an investigation into the allegations of war crimes against her. Livni last week said she canceled her trip to South Africa due to the Israeli Foreign Ministry workers' strike, which ended Monday. She was scheduled to give several speeches and hold meetings in Cape Town and Johannesburg. The Jewish Board of Deputies, which was sponsoring Livni's trip, told the South African Press Association that it will be rescheduled.
Livni cancels South Africa visit
Israeli lawmaker Tzipi Livni canceled a scheduled trip to South Africa due to a strike by her country's Foreign Ministry workers, the ministry said.

Livni, Israel's opposition leader and head of the Kadima Party, was scheduled to visit South Africa at the end of the month as a guest of the Jewish Board of Deputies, according to the South African Press Association. She was scheduled to give several speeches and hold meetings in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
