The Next Stage

If concerns surrounding judicial reforms are about human rights & civil liberties, why are the weakest sectors of society supporting the reforms while Israel's elites & security agencies oppose them?

Yehuda HaKohen is joined by attorney Tehila Gimpel for a deep dive into the backstory of Israel's Basic Laws as a quasi-constitution, on Aharon Barak's "constitutional revolution" of the 1990s, on the contentious judicial reform legislation being advanced by the coalition to check the power of the Supreme Court and on the protests that have rocked Israeli society in reaction to the proposed reforms.
