In this episode, Joel Rosenberg sits down in Tel Aviv with former—and possibly future—Prime Minister Naftali Bennett for an in-depth conversation about Israel’s current challenges and its vision for the future. As Israel faces the aftermath of October 7th, tensions with Iran, and shifting alliances in the region, Joel Rosenberg and Bennett discuss the nation’s need for unity, the legacy of its current leadership, and groundbreaking technological advances that could shape the country’s next chapter. Whether it’s countering regional threats or becoming a ‘solution nation’ in technology and innovation, this episode offers candid insights into the pivotal choices ahead for Israel and its people.
