Israel’s New Wartime Government

Israel’s New Wartime Government

While mounting a military response to Hamas, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been forced to unite his far-right wing with his political rival, centrist Benny Gantz, a former military Chief of Staff.

Guest: Dov Waxman, director of the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies.
