Israeli democracy is a unique construct, characterized by its lack of a formal constitution, intricate political coalition-making, and cultural diversity, which collectively contribute to its longevity and resilience. Despite not having traditional checks and balances, Israeli democracy thrives on the complex interplay of its cultural tribes and shared values among citizens. Recent events, such as the 2023 judicial reform protests, highlight ongoing challenges but also the optimism embedded within the society. This dynamic arrangement, coupled with civil rights provisions and governmental branches crafted from necessity, reflects the enduring adaptability of Israel's political system making it a distinct entity in the Middle East.
