17. A Conversation with MK Merav Michaeli
from NIF Australia Podcast Hosted by NIF Australia
Labor Knesset Merav Michaeli joined an NIF Australia webinar in the middle of one of the more interesting moments in recent Israeli political history as the leading opposition member seemed poised to join a right-wing government. In addition, Labor leader Amir Peretz, despite promising for more than a year to not join a coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu, was posed to do exactly that. Michaeli was resisting the move, including at a vote of the party's executive on Sunday 26 April. We discussed that issue with her, as well as Netanyahu's plans to annex parts of the West Bank, the recent elections, threats to democracy and more. (Michaeli was in the middle of an important Knesset committee meeting discussing arrangements for the new coalition agreement, so we've jumped past the first few minutes of the event and straight to when she was able to join us.) You can watch this event in full on YouTube.
