What exactly is going on in Israel these days? They just had an election, but are having another one just a few months later? What about the situation on the ground with the Palestinians, and Jared Kushner's peace plan? And what can be made about the growing divide between American and Israeli Jewry. In this episode, Prof. Scott Lasensky and I discuss these issues and many more regarding the future of Israel, the Palestinians, and the region more broadly, while also looking at the US-Israel relationship and the schisms between Israeli and American Jews today. In all, this is a really good episode. Scott Lasensky is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland and a Non-Resident Fellow and Researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, Israel's top defense and foreign policy think tank. Before that, he was the Senior Advisor to the US Ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, and before that, Lasensky was the Senior Policy Advisor to the US Ambassador to the United Nations, under both Amb. Susan Rice and Samantha Power. He is also the co-author of "The Peace Puzzle: America's Quest for Arab-Israeli Peace, 1989–2011."
