Abstract
First of all, this work will make a panoramic approach to the state of the art regarding the Israeli political system. Then, it will proceed to describe and analyze different features such as the state-building process as the nation-state of the Jewish people and as a democracy; the status and treatment of minorities, specially Israeli Arabs; and the boundaries of the demos given the military occupation of the West Bank since 1967. Finally, a categorization of the Israeli political system as a Hybrid Regime will be proposed under the concept of Ethnocracy provided by Yiftachel
