As tensions rise between Israel’s prime minister and his intelligence chiefs over the scandal known as Qatargate, a former head of the Shin Bet breaks his silence on Benjamin Netanyahu and his government. Meanwhile, the UN levels a grave accusation against Israel, sparking outrage and debate.
And since it’s Purim, who better to turn to than one of the sharpest comedic voices of his generation? Alex Edelman stops by to talk about Jewish humour, identity, and the fine art of making people laugh (even in the darkest times).
