Regavim vs. Israeli Inaction: Enforce the Law or Accept the Consequences

Naomi Kahn and Meir Deutsch of Regavim join the Mael Time Podcast for a clear-eyed conversation about one of Israel’s most urgent and least discussed crises: the state’s refusal to enforce its own laws. Drawing on Regavim’s on-the-ground work, they explain how selective enforcement has eroded sovereignty, undermined the rule of law, and created facts on the ground that no government statement can undo. This is not an ideological debate but a warning about governance itself. A country that writes laws but declines to enforce them invites chaos, and Kahn and Deutsch lay out why restoring enforcement is not optional but foundational to Israel’s future.
