Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud has emerged on top in Israel's election, but the battle to determine who actually governs the country is far from over!
Meira K breaks down the political showdown between Benjamin Netanyahu and former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot, examining their backgrounds, competing coalitions and the surprising similarities between their positions on Israel's biggest challenges.
From the failures of October 7 and the future of Gaza to Iran, Palestinian statehood and ultra-Orthodox military conscription, the two leaders agree on more than their bitter political rivalry might suggest. But with neither election results nor party strength alone guaranteeing a governing majority, Israel faces difficult coalition negotiations that could determine its direction for years to come. The show also explores the possibility of a Netanyahu-Eisenkot unity government and why overcoming their political differences could prove so difficult. Could Israel's next government emerge from an unexpected partnership between its two leading rivals...or will the country face another political deadlock?
