So whether they were excited about sharing, some were, some were less.
Y
3:19Yonah Jeremy BobGUEST
Um, and what I think any good journalist does that wants to tell a comprehensive story, and we really did get to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, war minister and opposition, uh, top official Benny Gantz, the top people in the army, the top people in the Mossad, the Biden administration, the Trump administration.
Y
3:40Yonah Jeremy BobGUEST
So we at some point got to enough people that even the people who maybe didn't want to cooperate found it was in their interest to cooperate because if they didn't, we said, "Look, we wanna tell the full story, but if I only have what, you know, A and B said that you said on this date, that's what I have to report on.
Y

D
4:36Dan RavivHOST
So to put it mildly, they didn't always agree on what the next step should be, but I think you and Elliot Kaufman are suggesting that that was helpful.

Is Israel’s Global Standing on The (Israeli) Ballot? - with Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal
A
30:24Amit SegalGUEST
If Netanyahu prevents Eisengot from having a new government sworn in, it necessarily means that Netanyahu is still a prime minister, even though in a transition government, and it worked for him in the past.
A
30:37Amit SegalGUEST
He exhausted, between 2019 and 2020, he exhausted Benny Gantz in three consecutive election campaigns, then talked him into his, uh, rotation government, and I think the same is going to happen here.
A
30:50Amit SegalGUEST
If the election are going to end up Exactly as the mainstream media polls show, it necessarily means that either Israel is going again to the polls with Netanyahu as the Prime Minister in transition, or that Netanyahu is going to form a coalition with the other side.
