Episode Israel at the Ballot Box: Yaakov Katz
Former Jerusalem Post editor-in-chief Yaakov Katz returns to the podcast to preview Israel's upcoming elections and examine how the post–October 7 security consensus shapes the race. Yaakov dispels the belief that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's departure would suddenly reverse Israel's forward-leaning defense posture. He also unpacks key electoral dynamics for Michael—from Netanyahu leveraging national security debates and anti-Arab party rhetoric to rising public anxiety over European sanctions and Haredi conscription. Finally, Yaakov forecasts potential governing scenarios, including a narrow right-wing majority, an unprecedented centrist minority government, and the lingering prospect of another protracted political stalemate.
