Summary

Unfavorable polls, Biden administration woes and continued public protest are only a hint of the issues piled on the desk of the coalition. But with the deadline for forming the Judicial Selection Committee approaching, Netanyahu and his partners will really be put to the test on their intentions for Levin’s overhaul. Suleiman Maswadeh, diplomatic and political correspondent for the Israeli Public Broadcaster Kan News, weighs in with his thoughts on the government’s status, and the ongoing negotiations with the Saudis. Plus, Maswadeh shares his experiences as Palestinian journalist covering his childhood home of Eastern Jerusalem and discusses being targeted by both right-wing Jews and fellow Arabs. And - impressions from a very special Shabbat dinner, the Israeli-Italian spy ordeal that’s been making headlines and a farewell from a beloved Jewish show. -- Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unholypodcast/and X: https://x.com/2jewsonthenewsJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1150578065793142See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:53.9	We are connected by long-distance Zoom technology right now,
0:57.8	you and me, Oneit, but last week, very fleetingly, we were face to face across the Shabbat dinner
1:04.9	table. Indeed, and the universe survived. Look at that. It was a spontaneous sort of off-the-calf
1:10.3	decision by me to come to London
1:13.6	for a very brief Chavotte holiday with my dad, which was kind of cool, I must say. And we shared a
1:20.9	Shabbat dinner with the Friedland family. You know, that moment where it's a moment full of charm,
1:26.3	I think, that we, you and I, we come from
1:28.6	different worlds and different countries and, you know, different surroundings, different
1:32.2	point of views. We disagree on a lot. We agree on a lot. And just that moment when you suddenly
1:36.5	kind of, I'm going to sound a little sappy, but just when you kind of realize this is our basic
1:41.8	thing that connects us, right? The Shabbat dinner and the
