This episode is not so much about Israel’s fourth election in under two years, but more the promise of what it may lead to.

PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s built his coalitions on the ultra-religious - but Covid’s disrupted their society. Some are moving into secular academia and productive jobs, while Arab Israelis, 20% of the population are reaching the higher echelons of Israeli society for the first time, thanks to Bibi the pragmatist.

Israel’s longest serving prime minister changes course without causing the upheaval that comes with it.

🎧LISTEN to our prestigious guests for some stunning predictions on the “tragedy of Netanyahu” and the emancipation of Israeli Arabs brought about by the Abraham Accords and Bibi’s investment in society.
