Attempts to reshape Israel's democratic system have pulled at the very fabric of Israeli democracy, and laid bare the country's social schisms. In this episode, we delve into the negotiations over Israel's democratic future with Yaniv Cohen, who represented President Isaac Herzog's team in the judicial reform talks.
As one of the lead negotiators for President Isaac Herzog's team in the talks over judicial reforms, Yaniv Cohen had a front row seat to the discussions between government and opposition on the future of Israel's democracy.
Cohen, who is Founder and Chairman of Tachlith (The Israeli Institute for Public Policy), breaks down the challenges Israel's society faces, how the controversy may play out, and why he's optimistic despite the extreme polarization the reforms have brought about.
