I’ll just say it - Bibi winning again most likely means Ambassador Dwemer will be called into service once again. I hope you will continue this podcast so Americans like me can get your wise peeps into the Israeli perspective. Enthusiastic American Zionist

Simply superb. Factual, deep analysis, and comprehensive understanding of Israeli and international politics, policy and culture. Do not miss even one episode.

Uninformative and boring

Not worth a listen. There are more interesting podcasts.
