Israel faces political deadlock as neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor rival Gadi Eisenkot is projected to reach the 61-seat threshold for a Knesset majority. Record turnout and a surge among Palestinian Arab voters could give Arab parties their largest-ever representation. Shira Efron and Nadav Eyal discuss what comes next.
Also on today's show: Professor of Iranian history Ali Ansari on the prospect of renewed strikes on Iran; Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland on the US-Canada trade war and her new memoir, Unreliable Boyfriend.
