In this interview, our senior editor Zain Raza speaks with Israeli politician Dr. Ofer Cassif about what Netanyahu’s electoral defeat really means for Israel. Has the country changed course, or are many of the political forces that shaped the war in Gaza, the occupation and Israel’s internal crisis still firmly in place?
Cassif also addresses the battle over an independent October 7 investigation and Israel’s role in the war against Iran. His answers raise a larger question about whether a change in government can reverse what he describes as a deeper transformation of Israeli politics and society — or whether the same trajectory will continue under new leadership.
