Today’s episode of Inside Israel finds Prime Minister Netanyahu backed into corner.

The Biden administration has touted the most potential hostage deal as one that “Israel has proposed” – which means Netanyahu himself sure as hell better agree to it, lest he look like schmuck.

Meanwhile, in the north, Hezbollah continues to pound Israel, killing civilians and soldiers and setting thousands of acres of forest on fire. Israelis are angrily asking, “Eifo hatzava shelanu?” (“Where is our army?”)

And then there are the ultra-Orthodox Haredim, who don’t serve in the IDF but need to. This week, Israel’s High Court ruled that the Netanyahu government’s excuses for not drafting the Haredim don’t hold water; yet, they continue to avoid the draft.

In this episode, I’ll explore these three scenarios in which PM Netanyahu’s back is to the wall, and what happens if he doesn’t act.

I’ll also take your questions.
