Netanyahu's Last Stand: Israel's Election Explained

Episode Notes

Israel heads to the polls on October 27, but the election could leave Benjamin Netanyahu in power even without a governing majority. 

In this Special Report, Chad breaks down Israel's complicated coalition system, Netanyahu's political survival strategy, and the unresolved questions surrounding the October 7 attacks. He also examines Netanyahu’s major challengers, Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett, and why replacing Netanyahu may not significantly change Israel's policies toward Gaza, the West Bank, or Iran. 

With Arab-Israeli voter turnout potentially reshaping the election, another political deadlock could be ahead, complicating Donald Trump's Middle East agenda and raising questions about Israel's political future.
