Political correspondent Tal Schneider: Israel unlikely to see Capitol-style violence if anti-Netanyahu government forms

For his podcast this week, Ben Caspit hosts Tal Schneider, political correspondent for The Times of Israel. Schneider, an expert on Israel-US relations, says violence similar to that seen at the US Capitol on Jan. 6 is unlikely to happen in Israel. "Storming the Knesset is not really an option," she says. Yet if an anti-Netanyahu government is formed, the Likud party is expected to send swarms of demonstrators to the streets.
