We investigate the sub-networks involved in education policy in Israel in recent years, using Mixed Methods Social Networks Analysis -drawn from combined analysis of qualitative and quantitative data.Our objective was to comprehensively explore the Israeli education policy network to deliver an understanding of its structure, actors, and relationships.Our research offers a descriptive, analytical, and interpretive account of the contemporary Israeli education policy sector, including the actors involved, central policy sub-networks and organizations, and their relationships.We analyze dependence relations within the sub-networks using Resource Dependency Theory and Policy Networks Typology.Our findings contribute to understanding the dynamics of Israeli education policy networks and their perceived influence on policymaking and enactment processes.To the international field of educational policy-related research, we introduce a novel category of policy network actors, previously unaddressed as a distinct type.We have termed this category 'Ethos networks' to characterize this group of actors and elaborate on its significance within the field.Additionally, we underline the importance of considering external societal and political factors in education policy-making
