In this episode of Politica Israel Podcast, Sharon and Yuval map the new fault lines dividing Israeli voters, including Netanyahu's leadership. Israeli political parties and conventional political identities have become more complicated and less predictable ahead of what may be the most significant Israeli election in its history.

This episode compares how Australia and Israel have responded to their most significant terror attacks. While Australia is already undertaking a Royal Commission into the Bondi attack, Israel still has no independent inquiry into October 7 attack, more than two years later. Sharon and Yuval unpack the political, legal and societal reasons behind that delay, including why Israel's High Court and competing narratives have turned tragedy into politics. The conversation explores why accountability matters—not just for Israel, but for Jewish communities worldwide—and what’s at stake if those questions remain unanswered.
