Gadi Taub isn’t afraid to ruffle any feathers. As the ninth guest for 18 Questions, 40 Israeli Thinkers, Taub is one of Israel’s most popular right-wing political commentators and public intellectuals. He spoke openly about his views—some of which, he said, has turned close friends into enemies—touching on an array of pressing topics, including the judicial reform, Israel’s plans for Gaza after the war, and the influence of the left on the state of Israel. 

With so many lingering questions and interviews, one interview is hardly enough to understand the breadth of any one thinker’s thought. We compiled a list of resources to explore more of Gadi’s thought in his own words.

Listen and watch Gadi Taub answer our 18 questions.
