I have never seen an Israeli election so widely reported in the British media before. This tiny strip of land – yes, roughly the size of Wales – seems never far from our television screens, newspapers and political discussions. Its politics, its security and its future appear to occupy an extraordinary amount of attention.
Indeed, I must confess that I was a little surprised to be asked to write about the Israeli election for Evangelicals Now. Does it really matter that much to us? What benefit is there to you, or indeed to me, in discussing the complexities of Israeli politics?
First, Khaled Kabub. Born in Jaffa, near Tel Aviv, to Muslim parents, Khaled was the son of a bus driver. After studying at Tel Aviv University, he went on to receive a Master’s degree in law through Tel Aviv University and the University of California. Today, as a Muslim citizen of Israel, he serves as a justice on the Supreme Court of Israel.
