Political Games and Ambiguous War Aims
Episode description
Tel Aviv-based journalist Neri Zilber hosts Chief Policy Officer Michael Koplow and Diane and Guilford Glazer Foundation Senior Foundation of Policy Research Shira Efron to discuss developments in Israel’s political arena and across the various fronts of the ongoing war. They unpack Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s first Hebrew-language interview in over a year, his upcoming visit to Washington, and the Haredi military conscription saga threatening his coalition. With the chances of a hostage-for-ceasefire deal appearing increasingly slim, Neri, Shira, and Michael assess the future of the Gaza campaign and the possibility of a major escalation in Lebanon.
