[Excerpts]
As if the ongoing war in Gaza, the 120 remaining Israeli hostages, and the increasing threats from Iran and Hezbollah were not enough, Israel currently finds itself in a very volatile political situation from an international perspective.
In the last two months alone, Europe has seen elections in the European Union, Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Iceland, and Bulgaria.
There is wide-ranging speculation, from warnings about a rise of far-Right political parties in Europe to cautious optimism that a moderate center might re-emerge.
All this comes ahead of momentous elections in the United States in November and in the middle of a seemingly never-ending war in Ukraine.
The underlying trend, across the European continent, of ascending right-wing parties is undeniable.
