Barak Hershkovitz | Unpopular Opinion
In this episode, Hershkovitz hosts a politician for the first time—MK Idan Roll, formerly of Yesh Atid and now an independent, in honor of the release of his book “Opening the Club.” Roll argues that Israeli politics has become an exclusive club where the same leaders have held power for decades and that the rules of the game—such as the high electoral threshold and party funding—prevent new forces from entering.
The conversation focuses on ways to open up the system, including discussions on primaries and the personal implications of the past year, in an attempt to understand how real change can be brought to Israeli politics.
