The heterogenous coalition could usher in a more liberal civil rights agenda and would include, for the first time in Israeli history, an independent Arab party. But some fear the political turbulence might prompt hard-right members to withdraw. Netanyahu and his supporters are turning up the heat, accusing ultranationalist members of betraying the country. And hundreds of right-wing protesters picketed the homes of several wavering members.

That’s hardly a new trend in Thailand, which has one of the largest wealth gaps among major economies. Many Thais have rigorously kept their masks on and obeyed lockdowns throughout the pandemic. But the privileged few — the phuyai — continued to party. An ambassador and a government minister are among those linked to the clubs who have tested positive. Analysis: Thailand’s three waves of the coronavirus have crested in zones where the rich profit and defy Covid protocols. The first wave was traced to a stadium operated by the country’s powerful military, which makes money on sports gambling, and the second to a sweatshop seafood business, which depends on immigration officers turning a blind eye to trafficked workers. Quotable: “The phuyai destroyed the Covid situation themselves, and we, the small people, we cannot live,” said Mutita Thongsopa, a worker whose sister died after contracting Covid-19. “People are dying like falling leaves.” Regional trend: Thailand’s surge is part of a [late-breaking wave](~/AAAAAQA~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~~) that has washed over much of Southeast Asia, where adequate vaccines are largely unavailable.

Seeing and Being Seen In the small Musée Marmottan in Paris, there’s a little seascape scene. It might look like a typical Impressionist crowd-pleaser: the still water, lapping waves, gentle breeze. But look closer. The artist Berthe Morisot “may be the most underestimated of all the Impressionists,” my colleague Jason Farago writes, and this painting contains multitudes. In a [masterful interpretation](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRin7x8P4Q0AWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2ludGVyYWN0aXZlLzIwMjEvMDYvMDQvYXJ0cy9kZXNpZ24vYmVydGhlLW1vcmlzb3QtaW4tZW5nbGFuZC5odG1sP2FjdGlvbj1jbGljayZjYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X21iYWVfMjAyMTA2MDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzI0MDQmbW9kdWxlPVRvcCtTdG9yaWVzJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1lZGl0aW9uJnBndHlwZT1Ib21lcGFnZSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NjAwNDQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmC5fDe9YMqbMSlSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), Jason peels back the underestimations. Morisot, the rare female artist, took the very rare step of painting her husband. The work depicts a seaside vacation, then a new fad. And Impressionist art — now considered pretty — was radical and disruptive, an interpretation of the anxieties around modernization. Looking closer still, the painting is about the act of looking itself. Morisot’s husband is looking at a woman, who is looking at a child, who is, in turn, looking at the sea — framed like a painting within a painting, like the commodity it had just become. And Morisot is watching them all, documenting a new social order, the Belle Époque, that will be defined by appearances. “You can see how Morisot paints the seaside as a new stage of modern life, defined through its pleasures and pressures — the pressures, above all, of being watched,” Jason writes.
