Jeremy's Knesset Insider

Jan. 10, 2012.  Jeremy Saltan discusses entry into politics by Yair Lapid (son of Tommy Lapid who founded the Shinui Party), Noam Shalit (father or Gilad Shalit), and Rabbi Aryeh Deri (former Shas Party leader now starting his own party).  Knesset shananigans result in Anastassia Michaeli (Yisrael Beitenu MK) throwing water in an education committee meeting after she was harshly told to “shut up” by MK Ghaled Majadle (Labor).  The role of the media in Israeli politics as media personalities are in many parties and this is increasingly the path into political power.  Finally, MK Ayoub Kara brings a gun into the Knesset?!  Learn about Knesset member immunity.
