Description

This week, A'ndre and Ryan talk to Israeli journalist Neri Zilber about why Israel is now facing its fifth general election in less than four years, as the coalition government led by unusual allies Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid collapsed amidst Benjamin Netanyahu's maneuvering to reclaim his old job as long-time prime minister. Neri takes us through the current underpinnings of Israel's political landscape, explaining how Bennett's right-wing party and Lapid's center-left party (in addition to several other parties) came to create a coalition in order to drive Netanyahu from power last year. Neri does discuss the other political and geopolitical issues that have dominated the coalition, including what Israeli-U.S. relations have looked over the past year with the Biden Administration.
