Israel’s political deadlock - New government on the horizon

Less than two weeks after Binyamin Netanyahu failed to form a government, his opponents seem on the verge of translating their makeshift alliance into a new Executive Branch. The idea is to have a two-headed cabinet, presided over by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid and consisting of six parties and being supported by two more. What are the prospects of this coalition successfully forming a government, and if it does, how will it weather both internal and external pressures?

Guests Col. (Res.) Reuven Ben-Shalom, Cross-Cultural Strategist and Associate at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism, Herzliya, and Former Knesset member Dov Lipman Analyst Amir Oren, TV7 Analysts and Host of Watchmen Talk. Host Jonathan Hessen.
