About this episode
Israel is undergoing a sea change. The battle over a judicial overhaul hides much deeper national schisms. The Times of Israel Senior Political Analyst Haviv Rettig Gur joins Senior Producer Adaam James Levin-Areddy to try and make sense of the mess. Will the reform fix or break Israeli democracy? Why doesn't Israel have a constitution? Why are elite military volunteers joining the protest? Does Benjamin Netanyahu have a plan? Is the Israeli left dead? Is the Israeli right broken? And what does "right and left" even mean? (Not what it means in the U.S, that's for sure!) Show notes: - Gur's profile at the Times of Israel - The Morning Dispatch's latest coverage of the overhaul - Who is Itamar Ben Gvir? (A Dispatch Podcast explainer) Learn more about your ad choices.
