Munk Dialogue with Matti Friedman

Israel’s new political coalition and the return of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel – a country founded on secular, European principles – just voted into power the most right wing, religious government in its history. How does Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest serving Prime Minister, keep getting elected?

Will this new right-wing religious coalition affect Israeli pluralism and uphold its commitment to democratic principles? And how might this incoming government change the nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Canadian-Israeli journalist, author, and op-ed contributor for the New York Times Matti Friedman joins us for an in-depth discussion about the Middle East’s only democracy – and why western assumptions about Israel are nearly always wrong.
