Summary

For seven decades, Queen Elizabeth II was a symbol of stability not only in the commonwealth but on the world stage as well, helping to navigate her country through a series of shifts that rattled Britain in the twentieth and twenty first centuries, and placing the royal family as a fortress of reassurance in a time of upheaval. Yonit and Jonathan speak about the end of an era in the UK - from the announcement from Buckingham Palace that every news outlet in Britain braced for - but dreaded having to bear - to the late Queen’s influence on her subjects and on modern history. Plus, Haaretz Military Correspondent Amos Harel joins our hosts to discuss the IDF’s investigation into the death of Palestinian journalist Shireeb Abu Akleh, and about whether it affects the relationship between Jerusalem and Washington.

0:59.3	but the interest in her is global.
1:02.9	It was like one of those scenes that is now quite a cliched scene in the movies where you have a
1:07.2	lineup of TV reporters speaking in every language in the world.
1:13.4	As I walked along, you could hear French and Italian and German, obviously,
1:19.4	but Arabic and Mandarin and Greek and so on.
1:24.6	Hebrew.
1:25.2	And Hebrew, indeed.

1:33.1	I was waiting for you to say that.
1:35.3	Yeah, and a great pleasure it was, and a privilege it was to you.
