Each week tens of thousands of Israelis are protesting the new government's policies. The proposals have prompted companies to move their operations and money out of the "Start Up Nation". New clashes in the West Bank and around the Gaza Strip seem poised to add additional danger. Extremists on both sides will try to exploit Passover or Ramadan which coincide this year.

Gordon Gladstone interviews Alex Lederman, Policy and Communications Associate at Israel Policy Forum. Alex will share his insights and observations about both Israel's internal politics and how that is reverberating in the region from the West Bank to the Gulf of Oman.

Alex Lederman previously served as the IPF Atid National Organizing Fellow and as an intern at the American Enterprise Institute and the U.S. embassy in Muscat, Oman. He graduated from Yale University with a BA in Near Eastern languages and civilizations, with a concentration in contemporary Israel.
