• Israel's political system is shaped by 4 variables.
• These variables include military dependence, exit options, information transparency, and capital mobility.
• The balance between governors and governed is not fixed by ideology or culture.
• The system may shift towards coercion or consent based on these variables.

The analysis of Israel's political system suggests that the balance between governors and governed may be shifting, which could indicate a change in the country's democratic equilibrium. The variables that shape this balance may favour the governed, but they are under pressure, which could lead to a gradual narrowing of the margin between coercion and consent.
