Defiance at Ramat Migron; which parties vie for the Arab vote


Listen Later

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday.

Political correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn and settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Amanda Borschel-Dan.

Keller-Lynn reported on a recent survey, which found that Israel’s right-wing Jewish voter base has grown from 46 percent before the April 2019 election to 62% now, ahead of November’s vote. What are some other interesting stats?

After former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu engineered the merger of the Religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit parties, the anti-LGBTQ party, Noam, is likely left out in the cold. Sharon explains why all may not be lost for the one-man party.

Leading up to the November 1 elections, the race is on to capture the Arab vote. And surprisingly, parties from a wide base of ideologies are vying for the expected 39% of Arab Israelis who may vote. What's happening here?

Sharon recently visited the Ramat Migron hilltop in the West Bank, which was demolished for a third time this morning. He dives into who lives there -- and why.

Discussed articles include:
