Host Simon Spungin is joined by Allison Kaplan Sommer and Judy Maltz for a post-election discussion about voter turnout, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's mistakes and whether the newly invigorated Arab parties can play a role in forming the next Israeli government.
We also ask whether Netanyahu is seriously considering the 'Nixon option' - agreeing to resign from office in exchange for promise that he won't be indicted for graft.
