Call Me Back - with Dan Senor - Israel’s Election Is Far From Over – with Amit Segal
Description
Israel’s election was a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu. So why has the opposition fallen short—and could Netanyahu emerge with another government after all? Dan joins Amit Segal to unpack the surprising results, the political promises that may soon be tested, and the choices facing Israel’s political leaders as they try to break the deadlock.
The opposition was energized and organized - why didn’t it translate into more seats?
The historic Arab voter turnout reshaped the electoral math.
Could Naftali Bennett or Avigdor Lieberman join forces with Netanyahu?
Gadi Eisenkot’s bad options.
Another election as soon as April, or a national unity government?
Could the next confrontation with Iran change everything?
