About this ebook

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, alienated its allies, and sanctioned unprecedented violence.

Israel now faces cataclysmic rifts and an existential crisis. Pfeffer charts the mass protests against Netanyahu, from his government's conduct in its war on Gaza to his attempts to silence the judiciary and expand settlement in the West Bank.

No King In Israel is the definitive story of Israel's fractured democracy, and of the fight to define what Israel should be.
