Protests, Power Struggles and The Path of War
As the war in Gaza resumes, the urgency surrounding the return of Israeli hostages has intensified the wave of protests across the country. Public frustration is mounting, not just over the prolonged captivity of those still held by Hamas, but also over the Israeli government's handling of the crisis.
In this episode, our panel examines how the government's pursuit of divisive policies—at a time when national unity is paramount—is exacerbating divisions within Israeli society. They explore the growing discontent among citizens, the impact of these internal fractures on Israel’s strategic decision-making, and the broader consequences for both the war effort and the country’s future.
