Large Scale Government Corruption Uncovered: Sense of Pride or Embarrassment?
What impact will a new government corruption scandal have on the elections and on Avigdor Liberman's future in government? Is the scandal a source of embarrassment or is there a sense of pride that Israel is a country where corruption is actually investigated? With the bodies of the terrorists from the Har Nof massacre released for funeral, the Panel discusses why they were originally held and why they were now released. With all the threats facing the country, how is it that polls show the leading concern among Israeli voters in the upcoming election is the cost of living? And how will the Anti-Trust Authority's recommendation to break up the partnership developing the Leviathan gas field affect Israel's future energy independence?
