Haaretz.com Editor-in-Chief Avi Scharf and Senior Columnist Anshel Pfeffer join Allison Kaplan Sommer to say goodbye and good riddance to 2020 - and ring in 2021 a year that will be bringing Israel into an unprecedented fourth round of elections.
We discuss: How Netanyahu will have to face elections in which, for the first time, his challenge comes from the right, in a new party led by Likud refugees. We ask whether by the time Israelis go to the polls on March 23, Netanyahu will be blamed for government failure to manage the coronavirus pandemic or if he’ll be seen as the conquering hero who got Israelis vaccinated quickly and efficiently.
We also talk about how tracking planes has led to Haaretz scoops, and look back on the most memorable moments - and stories of 2020, the year that no one is sorry to leave behind.
