On this episode of Election Overdose, we ask if the famous rule of elections in America is finally making its way to Israel as well. Our guest Karnit Flug, former governor of the Bank of Israel, now at the Israel Democracy Institute and professor at the Hebrew University, breaks down myth and reality about Israel’s apolitical economy. Why do Israelis always complain about economic woes, but hardly ever vote based on economic platforms?
Earlier on the show, we discuss former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, former IDF Chief of Staff to enter politics. Do the Israeli general’s political achievements justify the hype? And why did Eisenkot flirt with Prime Minister Yair Lapid for months before joining Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s new National Unity party?
