Israel goes to the polls in October with a clear majority of voters opposed to Benjamin Netanyahu — and no obvious way to translate that into a government. On this month's episode of Global Insights on The Lede, pollster Dahlia Scheindlin and political analyst Rida Abu Rass join Kwangu Liwewe Agyei to consider the arithmetic of the election, the taboo against governing with Arab parties, and the tension that has defined Israeli politics for seven years.
