With the threat to dissolve the current Knesset on the table the Israeli news cycle is filled with articles about when and how the next elections will turn out. This is a two-part episode discussing the Israeli elections. 

Part 1- provides an overview of the past 5 Israeli elections, dating back to 2013. It gives perspective on the major players in today's political field, the parties that are most influential, and the themes that have been at the forefront for the Israeli public.

Part 2- We delve into the issues that are facing the Israeli public as we approach another election. We discuss the question of who supports Netanyahu and who's against him, who's really confused, and how can Israel invite Israeli Arabs to be a bigger part of Israel's political life.
