Episode notes

Do you think there's a chance that we need to be concerned about the survival of the state of Israel? Yeah, it's a perfectly legitimate worry and concern if the extreme judicial reform goes through. But I'm not concerned that democracy is going away in Israel. It's really the center of the Israeli politic,. Even those on the right are against the most extreme version of judicial reform.

Far-right judicial reforms have inspired what might be the largest protests in the history of Israel. If adopted, the reforms could spell the end of democracy in the world’s only majority-Jewish country.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Matthew Collette, Victoria Chamberlin and Siona Petrous, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
