Description

Guest: Yoav Peled
As Gaza starves and the world watches in horror, Israel’s relentless, devastating war grinds on with staggering human costs. Yoav Peled assesses the accelerating crisis in Israel and Gaza, and the war’s domestic logic: a strategy for Netanyahu’s political survival, not peace.
Netanyahu faces growing international condemnation and internal anger. Polls now show that a majority of Israelis want the war to end and the hostages returned—even if Hamas remains in power. We’ll explore the broader political implications of the war: the disarray of the opposition, the growing authoritarianism of the state, public awareness and public opinion, and the push to disqualify Arab parties from the slated October elections.
Can Netanyahu stay in power? Peled says Bibi has worked hard to remove any potential threat or successor, so “there's no government, there's no Israel, there's only Bibi.” Tune in for his sober analysis of Israel’s internal politics and war.
