Who is behind Israel Compass?

Israel Compass is an independent, non-partisan tool to understand and stay informed.

I explain Israel in French, and now in English too.

The observation

When you live in Israel and don't read Hebrew, it is not always easy to find every source, understand where each party stands and compare them.

What is at stake

As the 27 October 2026 elections approach, being able to stay informed matters more than ever.

Because we have the right to choose who runs this country. And we also have the responsibility to understand that choice.

Our country

Israel is the country where we live.
The one where our children grow up and where our future is being built.

Voting means taking part in the future of the country you live in. And for us, today, that country is Israel.

As Israel's French- and English-speaking communities grow, I felt it was essential to create a tool that lets us, too, take full part in Israel's democratic debate.

Sources

Every position presented on Israel Compass is linked to a public, dated source: statement, platform, vote, interview or article.
