In this podcast, Noah Efron and Alon Tal discuss two important topics: the possibility of right-center-left-Arab-Jewish politics in Israel, as demonstrated by the outgoing government, and whether Benny Gantz should break his promise and join Netanyahu's government to counter Kahanists and homophobia.

In this edition of "The Man in the Room Where It Happened," Noah Efron and outgoing Member of Knesset Alon Tal discuss the feasibility of right-center-left-Arab-Jewish politics in Israel, questioning whether the outgoing government demonstrated its possibility or impossibility.

In this discussion, the hosts talk about the recent Israeli elections and analyze various aspects.

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman, Sally Abed, and Noah Efron discuss Israel's recent elections, focusing on the surprising success of the Islamicist Raam party, the presence of Kahanists in the Knesset, the performances of various political figures like Benny Gantz, Gideon Saar, Naftali Bennett, the Labor Party, Meretz, and Yair Lapid, and the implications for Israel's future and societal values.
