Host Simon Spungin is joined in the studio by Alex Griffing and remotely by Amos Harel and Chemi Shalev. In Part 1, the team discusses Israel’s ongoing national lockdown, which critics have described as political and intended to stifle protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In Part 2, we take on President Donald Trump’s positive COVID-19 test result and ask what this could mean for the election and potentially for Israel.
