Yonatan Shalev | Strong Shoulders - Israel's Future | Ep 51

At just 23, Yonatan Shalev has become one of the most powerful new voices in Israel’s public sphere. A reservist in the IDF’s Maglan unit and founder of כתף אל כתף (Shoulder to Shoulder), Yonatan represents a generation that refuses to accept a divided burden — where some fight and others are exempt.

In this episode, we talk about equality, courage, and moral responsibility — what it means to love your country enough to demand more from it. Yonatan opens up about his journey from soldier to activist, the protests that got him ejected from the Knesset, and the vision that drives him: an Israel where everyone serves, and everyone belongs.

This is a conversation about leadership born from pain, unity forged through action, and the question we must all ask ourselves: What kind of country do we want to build — and who will carry it on their shoulders?
