The article highlights the growth of Israel’s Real GDP 4.7% to 6.8% in 2010 and 2011 respectively and how the growth momentum could be hindered by the challenging political circumstances due to the nature of politics in Israel. This article is helpful to my research because it penetrates into Israel politics, highlighting fragmentation of coalition into parties and how this affects governmental control.
