Radio interview broadcast on Galai Yisrael:

Yishai is joined by Knesset insider Jeremy Man Saltan. Together, they kick off discussing the need for expansion for Israel’s rail and public transportation system. They move on to talk about the potential passing and implementation of the Tal Law, a law that is mandating that ultra-orthodox Jews be drafted into service in the Israel Defense Forces. The segment ends with further discussion about ultra-orthodox Jews moving into national service and potential benefits or penalties that could be given to those that choose or not choose to serve.

Knesset Jeremy Analysis: Scenario poll shows that both Netanyahu would gain from running without Yisrael Beitenu by ensuring more Likud MKs and raising the Netanyahu-Liberman block, as well as the right block. In the “regular” poll the tie between Labor and Yesh Atid is quite interesting for second place.
