Inside Israel Today: Are Knesset Members Slackers?

On the Knesset's last week before its extended summer recess, Gil Hoffman and Knesset Insider Jeremy Saltan analyze whether Knesset members have easy lives in which they barely work, or if they actually work very hard.

Gil reveals how he got his scoop about Joseph Gutnick, the Australian diamond miner who helped Benjamin Netanyahu win his first term as prime minister in 1996, deciding to endorse Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked as Netanyahu's future successor.

Hoffman and Saltan, who is an adviser to Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett, present different views on whether there is a conspiracy in Likud to divide Bayit Yehudi and break up the Bennett-Shaked alliance.
