Likud – Party of Netanyahu – Part 2: Kal...

Edgar Mannheimer
About this episode

In the second part of this miniseries Samuel and Edgar discuss the development of the Likud Party since its landslide victory in 1977. What demographic and political shifts cause its rise to dominance.

How did the party of Benjamin Netanyahu come to dominate Israeli politics as massively as it has done for the last couple of decades? How did it achieve this position, who are its voters and support today, and how does its future look?
