The State Of Israeli Politics
Benjamin Netanyahu campaigned to be Israel's prime minister on the promise that he'd keep Israel safe.
Now, as the leader of one of the most right-wing governments in the country's history, he's tasked with shepherding Israel through a crisis after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas — the militant and political group that rules Gaza — killed more than 1,400 people.
A poll in the Ma'ariv newspaper suggests up to 80% of Israelis believe Netanyahu must take responsibility for the security failures that led to the October 7th attack.
The country was already facing internal upheaval as Netanyahu's government pushed to overhaul the judiciary system.
We discuss the latest updates on Israeli domestic politics.
