In this special episode of Boots on the Ground, recorded from afar with Shaun still on reserve duty and Ari travelling in the U.S., we unpack the growing talk of new elections in Israel. What scenarios could actually trigger them? From the ongoing Haredi draft debate and Ben Gvir’s political threats, to the looming Knesset budget vote and the government’s paralysis on appointing an investigation committee into the failures of October 7th, we explore the pressures shaping Israel’s political future.
We also revisit the lingering sense of incompletion around the Trump peace plan and what it means for Israel today.
And as always, we end with a message of hope a reminder that despite the challenges, Israel’s continues to inspire us all.
