This week, Israel swore in a new Parliament, paving the way back to power for former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even as he is on trial for corruption. Now, the country is on the cusp of its most right-wing government in history.
Who and what forces are behind these events in Israeli politics?
Guest: Patrick Kingsley (https://www.nytimes.com/by/patrick-kingsley?smid=pc-thedaily), the Jerusalem bureau chief for The New York Times.
Background reading:
