The Middle East Breakdown With Dan and Hayvi
How To fix Israeli Politics? The Middle East Breakdown with Moshe Feiglin
Israeli politics has a deeper problem than left versus right - Moshe Feiglin says it has become a market of people, not a market of ideas. In this sharp, unsparing conversation, he argues that the real crisis is cultural: a democracy where parties blur together, media rewards personal attacks over substance, and voters are no longer treated as the authority.Dan Feferman presses Feiglin on the biggest questions hanging over Israel right now - from October 7 accountability and the collapse of political trust, to the role of the IDF, the media, and the security establishment in shaping the country’s future. Feiglin explains why he believes the current system is structurally broken, why “security” may dominate the next election without solving the real issues, and why the fight over ultra-Orthodox enlistment is being weaponized for political gain.You'll hear Feiglin lay out the case for replacing the current nationwide-list system with a regional model, why he thinks the Oslo mindset still distorts Israeli decision-making, and what he believes should actually be at the center of the national debate. Along the way, he doesn’t hold back on Bennett, Netanyahu, the Supreme Court, or what he sees as a deeply rotten political culture that protects power instead of enforcing responsibility.If you want a candid inside-the-system take on Israeli politics, accountability, and the ideas behind the headlines, this episode delivers a provocative and unfiltered perspective. Essential listening for anyone trying to understand where Israel is headed next - and what has to change first.
