Where can you listen?

What does it take to win an election in Israel? And what happens after the votes are counted?
Waiting for 61, JTA’s Israel election podcast, is your guide to the personalities, power struggles and political calculations shaping Israel’s future. Whether you're a seasoned observer of Israeli politics or just trying to understand how it all works, we'll take you beyond the headlines to explore what's driving the election, why it matters – and what it could mean for Israel and the world.
Israeli elections are rarely straightforward. With a crowded field of parties, shifting political alliances and a parliamentary system where winning the most votes doesn't necessarily mean winning power, there's a lot to untangle. That's where we come in. Join Ami Eden, CEO of 70 Faces Media (JTA’s parent organization) and Ruth Eglash, JTA’s Senior Israel correspondent, every weekday for sharp analysis, lively conversations and a closer look at the forces driving Israel’s unpredictable political system.
