Liberal MP Anthony Housefather has been one of the most outspoken supporters of Israel on the Liberal bench. Last week's NDP motion — roundly supported by his Liberal peers — has Housefather engaging in some serious soul searching about his future with the party. Will he cross the floor? Is he representative of a deeper political realignment? Why does he think the motion was "anti-Isreal"?
Housefather speaks about all of this, and more, with The Line's Jen Gerson.
On The Line is The Line’s newest podcast, featuring longer interviews by either Jen or Matt with someone who is currently in the news or able to speak to something topical (or, sometimes, simply fun and interesting).

The Line Podcast will continue to land in your inboxes every Friday, have no fear.
