Ebook Amihai Eliyahu: Ideology, Power, and Controversy in Israel’s New Right

por Ali Maile

This book offers an in-depth exploration of Amihai Eliyahu, a prominent and often controversial figure in Israel’s ascendant New Right. It dissects his foundational religious-nationalist ideology, analyzes his rise to positions of power, and unpacks the significant controversies he has sparked. From his advocacy for expanded Israeli sovereignty to his inflammatory comments during the 2023 Gaza conflict, including the suggestion of a nuclear strike and remarks perceived as minimizing civilian-combatant distinctions, this work provides a comprehensive look at Eliyahu’s impact on Israeli politics, society, and the ongoing regional discourse.
