Israel
Parliamentary democracy and the Middle East's most established liberal-democratic state, founded in 1948 and defined by the tension between Jewish-state identity and democratic pluralism. Israel's political system is highly fragmented — no party has ever won a Knesset majority alone — making coalition politics the defining feature of governance. Since October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched its mass-casualty attack from Gaza, Israel has been engaged in an extended military campaign in Gaza under a war cabinet led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Belarus
Landlocked country in Eastern Europe, often called the last dictatorship in Europe. Ruled since 1994 by President Alexander Lukashenko under a Soviet-style authoritarian system.

Belarus is heavily economically and politically dependent on Russia and served as a staging ground for Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The country operates a state-dominated economy with few civil liberties.

Palestine
Partially recognized state in the Levant whose political institutions are split between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas rule in Gaza.

Since October 2023, the Gaza war and widening West Bank instability have pushed the Palestinian national movement into its deepest crisis since the Oslo era.
