The Hostage Deal: Is Trump Endorsing Biden’s Policy?
Mike and Gadi discuss Israel’s uneasy deal, MAGA isolationism, Knesset turmoil, and a Supreme Court scandal—plus, why Mike’s lower expectations keep him less worried than Gadi

Plus: turmoil in Israel’s Knesset, and a new scandal involving the man designated to preside over Israel’s Supreme Court.
