(3) The Israeli Electorate, Interpreting the Shift in US Rhetoric, and Why Independent Journalism Matters, with Tal Shalev
Manage episode 407949555 series 3563170
Today we are joined by Tal Shalev, one of the leading journalists in Israel and chief political correspondent for Walla News, Israel’s largest independent, 24 hour news and analysis website. With years experience as an international reporter, Tal brings insight and nuance to explaining and understanding the political landscape in Israel in a global context. As the daughter of Chemi Shalev born and raised on the news, Tal and her father continue to this day to debate current events and their likely future impacts. Five months into the war, she shares her thoughts on the US / Israeli relationship, the realignment of the Israeli electorate to the right, why the reservists are an unlikely political block unto themselves, and why the bigger issue than Haredim conscription is actually education and integration into the Israeli workforce of the future.
Please listen to our podcast, Impacting Israel, by our host JJ Sussman, to hear the full interview, and Tal’s provocative and candid reflections.
