| Description | The Downfall of the National Camp? Ami Pedahzur On 17 May 1999, Ehud Barak was elected prime minister of Israel, supported by a large majority of the Israeli population. According to many political correspondents, Barak's achievement signalled the decline of the right-wing national camp in the country. Among other matters, this article argues that indeed the Israeli public did not show its confidence in the right-wing candidate Benyamin Netanyahu by its vote. However, any conclusions regarding the decline of the right-wing camp are premature. In other words, the election results demonstrated the weariness of the Israeli public with the Netanyahu administration, but 320they cannot be considered as a confidence vote for the political agenda of the Left. This article first offers a definition of the Israeli Right and then gives details of the political actors of the right-wing camp in the 1999 elections. Following that, it presents an analytical perspective of Netanyahu's defeat and the decline in support for the traditional right-wing party family, and finally it discusses the expansion of the new right.
