The elections to the 18th Knesset (legislature of Israel) were held
on February 10, 2009, almost three years after the elections to the
17th Knesset and approximately twenty months before the original
date set for them to be held. The elections are best understood in
the context of the wars that were at each end of Ehud Olmert's
government tenure, corruption scandals involving the prime
minister, and the failure of Tzipi Livni, the newly elected head of
the ruling center party, Kadima to form a new coalition following
Olmert's resignation. The election campaign of 2009 began with the
resignation of Ehud Olmert in the shadow of his corruption scandals
and issues of integrity and clean government. This was followed by
the world financial crisis, which directed attention towards the
economic dimension and performance of the candidates. On the face
of it, the campaign was cut short when military action began in
Gaza. Still, the election was on the minds of candidates, and the
question of who can best ensure security prevailed in the campaign.
It becamepersonalized and focused on the candidates: the two
candidates who had once headed the government and aspired to
return, Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, and the chairperson of
Kadima, Tzipi Livni, who was running for the first time as head of
a party. The Elections in Israel 2009 will be of particular
interest to those concerned with comparative politics and elections
in an open society. This volume is the latest in the series begun
in 1969.
