Is Israel’s Global Standing on The (Israeli) Ballot? - with Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal

Is Israel’s growing isolation abroad becoming a political problem at home?

As Benjamin Netanyahu heads to New York for a brief UN visit just weeks before Israel’s election, Israel’s standing in the United States is deteriorating, even as Netanyahu’s political position at home has improved. Dan is joined by Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal to ask whether Israeli voters see the country’s growing international isolation with the same urgency as diaspora Jews, and how that divide is shaping an increasingly complicated election.
