Will Israeli voters turf Netanyahu?
Notas do episódio
Israelis will elect a new prime minister on Tuesday for the first time since October 7th. Polls suggest that many voters are ready to turf Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing criticism at home for corruption scandals and his handling of October 7th.
He also faces isolation abroad for his military campaigns in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. But while he may be sliding in the polls, it’s not clear that his main challengers will be able to pull together a coalition to oust him.
Today, we hear from three voters as well as pollster and analyst Dahlia Scheindlin about Netanyahu’s main challenger and his vision for the country, and how the Netanyahu era has changed Israel.
