No King In Israel - The Jewish State Confronts its Demons

In November 2022, Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power in Israel after the fifth election in less than four years. Propped up by a bloc of far-right and ultra-religious parties, Netanyahu''s government is the most extreme administration in Israeli history. It has pushed Israeli society to breaking point. Israel now faces cataclysmic rifts and an existential crisis. Pfeffer charts the mass protests against Netanyahu''s attempts to silence the judiciary and expand settlement in the West Bank, as well as the shattering of Israel''s core beliefs after October 7th and the calamitous war in Gaza. No King In Israel is the definitive story of Israel''s fractured democracy, and of the fight to define what Israel should be.
