In this episode, I sit down with the former Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren. We discuss the current U.S. Presidential campaign, how Israelis are viewing the election, and America’s changing relationship with Israel. Ambassador Oren also talks about his late-blooming career, the opportunities he sees for Israel in the future, and what Netanyahu’s legacy will be.
