This study investigates the policy process through which net neutrality (NN) policy in Israel has been shaped. The analysis employs a framework based on the Internet Governance concept and the multi-stakeholder approach. Based on the analysis of formal documents, debates in parliamentary committees and the Parliament plenum, and position papers of various actors, the findings show that NN policy in Israel is one more layer of the neo-liberal policy in the telecommunication sector. It is demonstrated how experts and bureaucrats, influenced by industry interests, have been dominant during the policy process while civil society groups representing the public interests have been only marginal actors. The paper concludes with a call for a more proactive attitude of all stakeholder groups in order to enable a more balanced governance of central internet issues, such as NN.

没有公众的公众政策：以色列的网络中立

本研究调查了以色列网络中立 (NN) 政策形成的政策过程。该分析采用基于互联网治理概念和多利益相关方方法的框架。根据对正式文件、议会委员会和议会全体会议的辩论以及各参与者的立场文件的分析，调查结果表明，以色列的 NN 政策是电信部门新自由主义政策的又一层。展示了受行业利益影响的专家和官僚如何在政策过程中占主导地位，而代表公共利益的民间社会团体只是边缘参与者。
