Three Election Scenarios Nobody Is Talking About - with Gil Hoffman

The conventional wisdom is that the outcome comes down to two possibilities: Benjamin Netanyahu stays in power, or Gadi Eisenkot replaces him. But what if neither scenario happens?  On this episode of *Call Me Back*, Dan Senor speaks with political analyst Gil Hoffman about three under-the-radar scenarios that could reshape Israel’s next government. **In this episode:** - Could Eisenkot form a government without winning 61 seats? - What role could President Isaac Herzog play in shaping the next government? - Would a new and/or renewed war change the calculus for Netanyahu? - What kind of a unity government might we see? - Could Avigdor Lieberman somehow become prime minister? Read Gil’s book The Blood Libel Machine: Exposing the Anti-Israel Hate Network, and How to Fight Back. \_\__ This episode is sponsored by American Friends of Magen David Adom.
