Roye’s Research on Political Identity in Israel
At CCIR Academy, Roye conducted a research project titled “Next Year in Jerusalem: Understanding the Evolution of Political Identity and Affiliation among Mizrahi and Russian-Speaking Populations in Israel.”
His study examined two important groups in Israeli right-wing politics: Mizrahi voters and voters from Russian-speaking communities.
Roye explored the different political views held by these groups. He also examined the factors that influence their political beliefs and voting decisions.
Through this research, Roye investigated how identity and background can shape political affiliation. His work focused on the relationship between these communities and Israel’s political landscape.

Roye recently appeared in an episode of CCIR Academy Student Spotlights. He shared insights from his research project and reflected on his experience.
He also recognised the guidance and support he received from his professors and CCIR Academy throughout the process.
