The Judicial Crisis explained with Dr. Ori Aronson
Manage episode 373996739 series 3008569
On January 3rd, 2023, less than a week after the Israeli government was sworn an oath in the Knesset, Minister of Justice Yariv Levin dropped a bomb. In a press conference, he presented a list of judicial changes the newly formed coalition would like to enact.
Since then, the state of Israel has been spinning in a clash between the Judicial “Reform” supporters and the Anti Judicial Overhaul protesters. But how did we get to this situation? Aren’t there any checks and balances?
To better understand the origins of our current Judicial Crisis, I am glad to have Dr. Ori Aronson, An Associate Professor of Law at Bar-Ilan University and former assistant to Israel’s Chief Justice Aharon Barak.
