Israel's Legal Elite Have a Power Problem But A Solution Already Exists
from Basic Law · host JNS
Most coverage of Israeli law gets one thing disastrously wrong and that misunderstanding is now shaping Israel’s political future. In this episode of "Basic Law", we pull back the curtain on the immense, largely unexamined power of Israel’s Attorney General, why reform efforts didn’t begin with today’s government and how decades of legal drift quietly reshaped Israeli democracy. From absurd media narratives to historic showdowns that changed elections, this conversation reveals why the real battle isn’t left versus right, but accountability versus unchecked authority. If you think this debate is new, partisan, or simple, this episode will force you to rethink everything.
