Podcast De Dag: Israel after the elections

Israel held elections for the first time since the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent violence. The results left the political landscape uncertain, with no clear majority for either Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or challenger Gadi Eisenkot. This ongoing struggle raises questions about Israel's future direction. Reporter Sander van Hoorn covered the election night at Eisenkot's party, where initial enthusiasm has since turned to uncertainty regarding coalition formation. Although Netanyahu's Likud remains the largest party, it faces challenges in securing a majority compared to Eisenkot. Despite calls for change from voters, it remains unclear if Israel's policies will significantly shift.
