Summary
This week, Israel’s far-right coalition government voted to strip the Supreme Court of the power to overturn “unreasonable” government actions and appointments. Protesters and experts alike worry it's the first step in a broader push towards gutting the judiciary altogether. Is Israel on the brink of authoritarianism?
Guest: Yair Rosenberg, staff writer at The Atlantic, author of its “Deep Shtetl” newsletter
