Israeli Elections and The Rise of the Far Right

Israel has been through several elections in the past few years. In fact, Israel has had five elections in just four years. The most recent elections, the ones that took place on November 1st, saw an important rise of the far right in Israel.
In this episode of What Matters Today we look at the impact of the far right in Israel. We also examine how the far right helped Benjamin Netanyahu win the election.
And finally, we discuss the general reaction of Palestinians to the election results.
My guest for this episode is Cyrus Schayegh who is a Professor of International History and Politics at the Geneva Graduate Institute.
Please note that this episode was recorded on in mid-November
