The 38th World Zionist Congress (Шаблон:Lang-he) convened in Jerusalem, on October 20–22, 2020, with the participation of over 700 delegates and thousands of people from 35 countries to elect leadership positions and determine policy for the World Zionist Organization (WZO).[1][2] Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, the Congress sessions and deliberations were held online by means of a global virtual platform.[3][4]

Delegates and elections

The Congress is composed of 524 delegates: 199 from Israel (38%), 152 from the United States (29%), and 173 from the rest of the Jewish diaspora (33%).[5]

Australia

Representation of the Australian Zionist delegation was determined on June 2, 2020.[6] For the first time, progressive groups ran under the Hatikvah grouping, which included the New Israel Fund, Ameinu, Meretz, Habonim Dror and Hashomer Hatzair. The group won two seats.[7] Other parties represented included ARZA (4 seats), Mizrahi (4 seats), Mercaz-Masorti (2 seats) and Friends of Likud (1 seat).

Israel

The number of delegates representing Israel in the Congress is determined in accordance with the size of the Zionist parties in the Knesset.[5] Thus, the Israeli representatives to the Congress will be apportioned according to the results of the elections to the twenty-second Knesset, held in September 2019.

United States

Representation of the United States Zionist delegation is determined by elections held under the auspices of the American Zionist Movement several months prior to the Congress. These elections took place from January 21, 2020 to March 11, 2020.[2][5]

123,575 votes were cast, more than double the number in the election for the previous congress in 2015. Fifteen groups, comprising over 1,800 candidates, competed for the 152 seats allocated to the American Zionist movement. The results of the elections were as follows:[3]
