Israel faces MASSIVE UPHEAVAL: Can it be saved?
Description
Is Israeli democracy cracking…or finally correcting course?
Host Aylana Meisel, Executive Director of the Israel Law and Liberty Forum, is joined by Dr. Yaakov Ben-Shemesh, a leading constitutional law scholar, to unravel one of the most turbulent weeks in Israel’s political and legal history.
From Ambassador Mike Huckabee's surreal appearance at Prime Minister Netanyahu’s trial (with a Bugs Bunny doll in hand) to failed attempts to fire the Attorney General, to internal chaos within the coalition and a potential conservative revolt in Israel’s Supreme Court, this episode breaks down what it all means for Israeli democracy, sovereignty and the rule of law.
