| Summary/Abstract |
The continuous threat to the existence of the state of Israel is reflected in a rigid agenda, causing extremely stiff competition for attention. Nevertheless, the question of the relationship between state and religion manages to be placed high on the agenda. By focusing on the case study of euthanasia during the 14th Knesset headed by Benjamin Netanyahu and the 15th Knesset headed by Ehud Barak, this article proposes an explanation that is applicable to Israel's socio-political context regarding the positioning of issues concerning state and religion on the policy-makers' agenda.
