Description

Zack, Jenn, and Alex discuss the results of Tuesday’s election in Israel, which are set to give incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a fifth term in office. They explain why his end-of-campaign promise to annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank is such a big deal and how his desperation to wriggle out of corruption charges could lead to this explosive proposal becoming a reality. Zack explains that people don’t like being in jail, Jenn’s disturbingly lengthy commute is revealed, and Alex compares the Israeli legislative process to player trades in fantasy baseball.References:Zack wrote about the Israeli election results and what it could mean.Vox also has a good explainer on the indictments threatening Netanyahu.Here’s Netanyahu promising to annex the West Bank.Netanyahu’s likely coalition could help repel indictment while he’s prime minister.Finally, take a look at Zack’s short explainer on the West Bank.
