The main axis in the politics of most nations is socio-economic. The less-privileged want more government intervention, while the more-privileged want less. Is this also true in Israel? No. At least not in a clear-cut way. There certainly is a less-privileged population in Israel; one-fifth of the nation lives below the official poverty line. Most in this category are Ultra-Orthodox (haredi) Jews, about 12 percent of the total population, or Arabs, 21 percent. Half of each group are officially poor.
Gideon Saar seems to have run a rather lack luster campaign. Although Pfizer head did not travel to Israel, he gave an interview where he stated that Bibi called him 30 times to negotiate the deal for vaccines. Interview helped illustrate both Netanyahu's intellect, talents, and dogged determination.
Yesterday--it may have been published on Thursday or Friday--I saw a survey by IDI--that 1/3 of Arabs may vote for Netanyahu. Ironically, Arabs may carry him over 61 or they may not if they do not vote in robust numbers

I don't know if this is an axis but the number who will not vote could have an enormous impact on whether this election can produce a stable coalition
