From The Schmooze · 01:07:43
Show by Don and Jared
Israel heads to the polls on October 27, 2026. But what happens if nobody wins?This week, Don and Jared welcome Israeli strategic affairs analyst David M. Weinberg for an inside look at Israel's complex political landscape, the battle between Netanyahu and his challengers, and the coalition negotiations that could determine the country's next government.From the mathematics of Israel's 120-seat Knesset to the role of ultra-Orthodox and Arab political parties, Weinberg makes a complicated electoral system surprisingly accessible.We also explore how October 7 has changed Israeli politics, why there may be more agreement on national security than the headlines suggest, and what Canada's deteriorating relationship with Israel means for Canadians.But perhaps the most fascinating insight is Weinberg's optimism about a new generation of Israeli leaders, and his belief that the election that truly transforms Israel may still be several years away.Politics, security, democracy, and an unexpectedly hopeful look at Israel's future.Join us for Episode 47 of The Schmooze.https://schmoozeyyc.ca
