## Resource

Last week, I attended an event featuring Naftali Bennett, head of Beyachad and the primary challenger to Netanyahu. While I haven't committed to supporting him, I wanted to hear directly from him as he outlined his platform and vision for Israel's future. In this episode, I'll recap his key points, analyze the viability of his candidacy, and assess his chances in the coming elections. -------------- Support Inside Israel: Contribute Book Joel during his spring/fall 2026 lecture and comedy tour: www.joelchasnoff.com To learn more about Inside Israel, and to submit a question for Joel to answer on-air, visit www.joelchasnoff.com/podcast   Sign up for Joel’s newsletter, Hebrew Is Magic: www.joelchasnoff.com Joel’s tour schedule: www.joelchasnoff.com/shows Joel on Instagram: @joelchasnoff   Israel 201 , co-authored by Joel and Benji Lovitt and Winner of the 2023 National Jewish Book Award: www.joelchasnoff.com/books Hosted on Acast.
