Description:

As Israel suffers its first coronavirus fatality and the number of people infected closes in on 1,000, host Simon Spungin is joined by Amos Harel and Noa Landau to discuss Israel’s medical, logistical and legal response to the global health crisis. We also discuss the possible outbreak of the virus in the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s anti-democratic measures in an already illiberal democracy, and the ongoing political impasse, which three elections have failed to resolve. PLUS: We talk to Allison Kaplan Sommer and her son Eitan Sommer, who was one of the hundreds of Israeli backpackers airlifted home from Peru.
