Political turmoil in Israel

Beyond Your News Feed: Understanding Contemporary Politics

Podcast host, William Hudson, invites back to the podcast the Providence College Political Science Departments expert on all this Israeli, Professor Ruth Ben-Artzi, to discuss recent events in Israel and Palestine. Our wide ranging conversation covers the electoral turmoil of the past four years that produced four elections, the reemergence of Benyamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister after last November’s election, the extreme right-wing character of the government he heads, and the impact of all of this on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
