Local government elections in Israel showed the gradual rise in the power of the extreme right. Observers believe that the most prominent change in the results of the Israeli local elections is the noticeable decline in the participation rate.
The voting rate reached 31.5% among Jews, which reflects the general reluctance of Israeli society to participate in these elections. The composition of the occupation municipal council in Jerusalem reflects the transformation that even the largest Israeli towns are witnessing, with the emergence of the role of religious movements and extremist groups in local government.
