This week on The Tribal Update, the weekly satirical newscast brought to you by Latma (latma.co.il) the Hebrew-language satirical website I founded and run, we bring you a post-election roundup including an exclusive interview with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu discussing his travails in forming a coalition. We also give you a fly-on-the-wall account of the morning after Yair Lapid’s big…
It is still difficult to assess how Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will govern in his next government. The public has little interest in begging the Palestinians to return to negotiations. But then the Israeli public has rarely had much interest in pursuing fruitless deals with unreformed Palestinian terrorists. The only reason we continue to chase deals with them is because…
I think it is pretty amazing that AIPAC is keeping mum on the fact that Obama has nominated a Jew hater and Israel basher to serve as the next Defense Secretary. As I’ve said before, Hagel’s appointment is a far greater threat to the US military than it is to Israel. But still, it is pretty obscene that Obama is…
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Israel’s new political superstar Yair Lapid, the former talk show host and celebrity anchorman and current head of the brand new Yesh Atid party are busy at work hammering out our next governing coalition.

If you bring up Israel in a public meeting in England, the whole…
Israel has many passionate supporters on Capitol Hill, particularly on the Republican side of the aisle. These are men and women who are deeply committed to Israel and understand that Israel is the US’s only reliable ally in the Middle East and America’s most vital ally in the world today in light of the rise of radical Islamic regimes,…
In the Tribal Update’s final episode before tomorrow’s elections, we bring you an interview with President Shimon Peres who explains his decision to intervene for the Left in the campaign. We also bring you a behind the scenes look at the campaign consultants for Tzipi Livni and the Labor Party. And as always, there is much, much more to…
I have been out of the posting loop for the past couple of weeks so I apologize that it has taken me until now to post Latma’s latest shows. Here’s the Tribal Update from last week. It features an interview with former Shin Bet director Yuval Diskin, who like his colleagues on the Left who made careers in Israeli…
