NEW ERA: Israel new power play to bring bold shake-up

Israel’s parliament has sworn in Naftali Bennet as the country’s newest prime minister, bringing an end to Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year reign.

In what is the narrowest of margins, Bennet won the confidence movement with 60 votes to 59 votes.

Israel has been in a game of political deadlock for the past several years, and Bennet’s victory follows four elections in the space of two years.

Bennet says “I am proud of the ability to sit together with people with very different views from my own, twice in history, we have lost our national home precisely because the leaders of the generation were not able to sit with one and another and compromise.”

Welcomed change of direction

Bennet’s incoming coalition is made up of eight separate political parties and is considered the most diverse leadership group Israel has ever seen.

Wolpe continues on to say that “a source of contention” will surround the threat Iran poses to Israel and opposing the negotiated deal presented by President Biden.

“I think there is also going to be focus on changes in the Israeli society and the direction it takes at home,” Wolpe says.

“Just given the turmoil in the past two years… this will unleash Israel’s economic power.”

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
