On the second installment of our show on the new Israeli government, we're joined by Ashraf al-Ajrami, a political leader in Fatah and former Palestinian Minister of Prisoner Affairs. Ashraf shares how Palestinians in the West Bank are reacting to Israel’s political turmoil, and what it means for the future of conflict transformation.

One week from today, Israelis will head to the polls for the fifth time in under four years—a figure that is both astonishing and troublesome. Undoubtedly, the outcome of this one will have vast consequences for the region.

To understand the key developments, historical context, and what our partners at Darkenu are doing to promote democracy, we've got a special election episode of the EveryDay Voices Podcast.

Our featured guest is Michael Koplow, the chief policy officer at Israel Policy Forum. Michael dives into the party alliances, how the conflict factors in, and how to best consume election news once the votes are tallied.

You’ll also hear from Danielle Leumi, a campaigner at Darkenu, who shares how their new Democrator app is increasing voter turnout.

Did you know Palestine has not held presidential elections since 2005? While an array of factors have contributed to that drought, one is the national divide between its two largest parties, Fatah and Hamas.

With tensions rising across the region, and with violence spiking in the West Bank, now is a crucial time to examine this divide and its vast impact.

On a new episode of EveryDay Voices, we break down this issue with Dr. Mkhaimar Abusada: associate professor and chairman of the department of political science at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. Alongside our hosts Ezzeldeen Masri and Andrew Hirsh, Dr. Abusada shares key insights from the ground, along with historical context and what the future holds.
