Renewed Rocket Fire from Gaza and Electoral Economics: This Week from Newsroom VOI

With Israel responding to rocket fire from Gaza and tensions rising on the border, are we on the brink of another Gaza conflict?

We hear from Sharon Sheli of "The Future of the Western Negev Movement," who is protesting the rocket fire and the government's response.

With 87 days until elections, we bring you the latest news from the parties, the people and the issues: interviews with MKs Stav Shaffir of Labor and Moshe Feiglin of Likud.

Also, we ask journalist Anshel Pfeffer, author of a biography of Shas party leader Rabbi Ovadia's Yosef, about the split in Shas and what it could mean for the Haredi community.

We hear from Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld about the arrest of members of the Lehava anti-assimilation organization in connection with an arson attack last month. A close friend of Lehava leader Benzi Goptein, Elisheva Federman, tells us about the group's motivations.

Plus, VOI's weekly sports update from Josh Halickman; weather review with meteorologist Yaakov Cantor; and finance and economy news with Aaron Katzman.

Finally, a Hanukkah message...from the White House.
