About this episode

The president has tasked the former general – and Binyamin Netanyahu’s strongest rival – with building a new government. With just six weeks and barely a third of the Knesset seats on his side, will he succeed? Russia has a stalled front line with Ukraine but is bombarding harder from the air.
